'AS WE TURN OUR MEMORIES BACK" 

BEING 

THE FIFTH YEAR RECORD 

OF 

THE CLASS OF 1909 



PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 



PUBLISHED BY THE 

CLASS SECRETARY 



RECORD No. 3 



FOREWORD 

Although we alphabetically record the activities of each Classmate, 
we trust this volume will not be read as statistics from cover to 
cover. But that it may occupy a place on the library table, where,, 
when the night is lonely and long, we can open its pages and refresh 
our minds by seeing the faces and reading these personal letters 
from the best friends of all time. May we then feel that wonderful 
Princeton influence that cheers us on our way and, as we close its 
pages, may we be conscious of our duty to serve Princeton and 
our fellowmen. 



REFLECTIONS 

Some people like culture and soar up above 

Where the ether grows thinner and thinner, 
While some of them favor the joys of true love 

And some the effects of true dinner ; 
There are many delights of days and of nights, 

But there's never a gladness that ranks 
With the pleasure supreme, the rapture extreme, 

Of filling statistical blanks. 

We gravely produce some ancestrial facts 

And the names of our children and wives. 
And we try to account for our various acts 

When we've not done a thing in our lives, 
We think of the books that we never have writ 

And the churches we do not attend. 
We start to write something, then scratch out a bit, 

And sign our full names at the end. 

Our deeds are undone and our songs are unsung, 

But the students are gradually growing, 
The poets and statesmen are still rather young 

But shortly some heads may be showing, 
And a few years along we can take a square look. 

And I'll see with a sort of distress 
The rest of the crowd simply stuffing the book, — 

When I've only a name and address. 

— Spencer Gordon '09.

THE BIGGEST FIFTH 




Prelude 

^ URING the entire two weeks im- 
mediately preceding Jmie 12-16, an 
attentive observer might have seen 
piles of papers, important and other- 
wise being run through by young 
men with far away looks in their 
eyes — and he might have heard 
from Alaine to California roll top 
desks closing "wi' a click." The 
Preliminary work had been done by 
the reunion committee — and the 
honeyed words of Brash and Dick- 
inson's famous folder had given 
every man within reach of the mails 
that "PU get back of bust" feeling. The costumes had been 
talked over since the winter before — the tent was ready, the 
bands also — and as for the Beer we know you Bill Hoffman. 
Picture then "Mose" Mosher and his trusty fiddle leaving the 
wilds of New Richmond, Wisconsin, Doc. Smith driving miles 
to get to a train leaving Edmonston, Alberta, and one hundred 
and ninety-three other loyal ought niners each with one idea — to" 
get back where the music of big brass bands mingle with the 
Howareye of his best friends. 

Did you know that four men came more than 2,500 miles just to 
see Princeton and you once again ? This is the stuff' that made our 
Fifth the biggest quinquennial ever held. 



"Young mex with far away 
looks in their eyes." 



First Day 

From the time you struck Princeton Junction you knew which 
was the big class, which one had the real tent. It was a poor tree 
or fence that didn't have a sign. This year it's '09 — count the cards 



19 



and Friday morning's Prince bore the same message to the world. 
The early birds in found some of the committee there — getting 
things ready and promptly at one o'clock the pack was shuffled and 
costumes given out — and weren't they some costumes. At exactly 
1 .075^ 2^Iaury was heard to order another keg tapped — which was 
done. At 2.30 Dickinson led the famous band of Harlem Ethio- 
pians up from the station and a beer was had by all — while Josh 
worked behind the counter dealing pairs of Sixes — straight flushes — 
and full houses in quick succession. 

The papier-mache heads were finalh' dug out of the recesses of 
the University Store Room after a small fortune had been spent 
in 'phone messages to Xew York and in a moment were being tried 
on before the mirror and camera. From that moment on there was 
action — pep — and more pep, till the last tent peg was pulled up. 

Do you know of anything better than pee-rading up Xassau 
Street on a June day behind a big brass band led by a master leader 
Hke A.rtie Samuels ? One of these pee-rades was started at 3.30 and 
was followed at frequent intervals or whenever any member yelled 
Pee-rade. What the band lacked in technique it made up in willing- 
ness and pep and "Fobeys" variations on the cornet are a sweet mem- 
ory. Back to the tent after each fresh Pee-rade — a new story — a 
beer — a hot dog — and cover up ! Here comes Tomlinson ! 

That well known writer of boys' books was in rare form from 
Fridav till the end. and Ross Kay's little friends and readers should 
have been there to see him. Suddenly there was 
a rush to throw a reinforcing guard around the 
defenseless dispenser of the cooling fluid for 
a scout came in with the news that Souse 
Keen was on his way up from the station. 
AVith him a lot more of the loyal Philadel- 
phia contingent. ^IcXeely the leader man. Gay, 
destroyer of Rats, Bill Arnett, Shorty Burke, 
Dick Este and his thirst. Bill Latta, AMlly Prizer 
so soon to become our President and all the rest 
of that far from sleepy bunch. At 5.15 Ferry 
Belden was observed drinking part of a cup of 
"Isx't it woxder- ^^^^- Some had dinner about now, through the 
FUL WHAT xouR- wire entanglements, others pinned their faith to 
isHMEXT YOU cAx ^ ^ ^^ • ,^ -^ wouderful what nourishment 

GET OUT OF . THAT ° 

HoFFMAx Brew." a'ou can get out of that Hoffman Brew?

2 — Dickinson — Leader of Coon Band. 

3 — Maury — Disguised as a Bridge Germ. 

4 — Treadwell — Joker. 

5 — Four of Our Fizzicians — Hetzel, Martin, Thorburn, and McWilliams. 



As the shades of the First Evening descended, our famous ring- 
masters Hatch Treadwell and Roy Dickinson took charge and from 
then on till somewhere around 2.00 A. M. there was much action. 

Ed. Brown and his famous quartet outdid themselves. The 
sweet strains of Chloe and the new rags were interrupted at times 
in the good old drules of Doug Ballin, Hatch, Cunningham and 
Roy, while Fat Wagner's songs took us back to the old benches in 
front of Nassau Hall and the songs we used to sing on spring nights 
in the long ago. Medina was there with his Phi Betta Kappa 
yarn. We missed old Norm Carrol who was eating his heart out 
way ofif in Frisco but who sent "some"' telegram. The ringmasters 
got one man after another up from the crowd uncovering lots of new 
talent — they Roy, who puts pep in coons — got the little feller to do 
another dance and so the evening went. 

Many a grad in Princeton was heard to say on that first night, 
"Now lets go to the real tent," and everybody knew he meant '09. 
Our old reputation for hospitality was never better kept up. No 
one who dropped in went away disappointed — and those who 
dropped in constituted about everybody and so ended the first day. 

Second Day 

Saturday dawned clear and sunny, but nobody saw it, except 
Ed. Annin, the well known Berkshire County hog raiser and a few 
others who forgot to go to bed. It was also sunny from eleven on 
which was much more interesting to the rest. Scotty held forth in 
the tent for a while in the morning and after being tied into horrible 
knots by Maury, Armour, Heyniger and other strong arms, did a 
quick Houdini act and started collecting before he was half out of 
his bonds. Many new pee-rades were started, and many poses were 
struck in front of movie cameras and regular ones. 

The class picture was taken on the steps. At 12.30, back in the 
tent, John Kellogg finished his sixth, while some painted signs — and 
they were the best in the pee-rade, a few kindred spirits and Turk 
House gathered on the platform and warbled snatches from the 
operas. The Son of the Beach — "the Underground Chant" and "She 
Works in a Jam Factory," being some of the favorites most in evi- 
dence. About this time it was discovered by Holley Clark that our 
costumes in addition to being remarkably cool, and making the best 
showing of any in town, were also unmistakably and absolutely beer

proof. Between sign painting, band concerts, impromptu singing 
and preparation for the big Pee-rade, the tent was a busy place. 

Suddenly some bright mind suggested the idea of meeting the 
train bearing into town Woodrow Wilson '79. No sooner said than 
started, and after a syncopated goose step march around town '09, in

a body reached the station and waited. By the time the train arrived 
Fobey, our famous cornettist was slipping one, and numerous other 
Ethiopians were missing from the band. The remainder however, 
gave a remarkable rendition of Hail to the Chief in ragtime while 
the President of these here United States was attempting to say a 
few words from the car steps. The struggle was an unequal one 
and he soon gave up. 

The class gave him a regular welcome, then started on the Pee- 
rade to the field. 

For the sake of history it must be admitted that there were one or 
two other classes in the Pee-rade around the field at the '09 Quin- 
quennial, and the crowds in the grand stand greeted them. It was 
perfectly plain to any observer, however, that they were merely 
waiting for '09. The bells on the ringmasters rang with excitement 
as they led the aggregation, and Art Samuels put seven more ounces 
of pep into the Ethiopians as they came bravely up playing their 
famous "I'm on my way to Mandalay." Will you ever forget that 
song? Behind the band came a seven foot Huerta captured by '09. 
Beneath a big card bearing the words "We come from West of the 
Mississippi" came the men who had won the right to that distinction. 
Then after a larger group came Jim Maury dancing along disguised

as a big red Germ. — then our famous secretary, Josh Brush, as a 
prize fat baby. . 

A roar went up from the grand stands as they read the standards 
"Don't cut the Deck Girls, be Friendly." "All this pack needs is 
a few more Queens," and the rest of them. Our standard showing 
the record attendance for five successive reunions got a big hand. 
The costumes were the most spectacular and effective seen on the 
field in many a year and '09 passed by in a blaze of glory. 

Then the Tigers and the Elis got busy for a while and after their 
slight interruption, we went back to the big tent. And here words 
fail the willing scribe. That night never to be forgotten — to be 
remembered in happy moods in years to come, is hard to describe. 
From Friday night's reputation all of Princeton literally fought to 
get into the '09 tent. There wasn't a dull moment from right 
after the game till rosy dawn. One good story followed another. 
Ed Brown and his peerless quartet out-did themselves. Norm 
Armour out-did Scotty in liberating himself from a straight] acket, 
done without the aid of a net. 

Buck Dougherty was a royal straight flush all by himself. Our 
prize contest for outside talent was a big success. Deac. Alurray 
was there with his well known drules and made a big hit. Lefty 
Flynn of Yale, after pulling the piano all around the platform, 
entertained the whole tent for half an hour with Chinese songs, 
stories, and Kipling set to music, and was unanimously awarded first 
prize with the Deacon a close second. Though there was pep every 
minute from start to finish, our ringmasters kept excellent order 
and the whole evening passed in a most enjoyable way — a very nice 
time being had by all, as the Bingville Bugle would say. 

Old Alec. Verner helped close the tent, if it did close. Tubby 
Sherrill and Con Connet scorning beds and such, lay their weary 
heads at the foot of the new statute on the Campus and slumbered 
peacefully till wakened by Italian workmen. 

Next Morning 

On Sunday morning some there were who slumbered and some 
who beard an address by R. R. Gailey, which was very well 
spoken. Among other movements discussed at the Social service 
meeting which was most interesting, was the Big Brother movement, 
which almost forty men volunteered for. After the meeting all 
sat around and exchanged views on life, liberty and the pursuit of 

26 



the elusive shekel. Then after a dash of nourishment, the big class 
meeting came off. Old William Prizer, our hard working Philadel- 
phia chairman was elected Class President. 

The election was a very popular one and Bill certainly deserves 
the honor and is the right man for the right place. Hatch Tread- 
well was elected Class Representative on the Graduate Council. 
Another case of ditto. Hatch and Roy were then each presented 
with a beautiful cigarette case engraved from the Class of '09. 
These were in recognition of their untiring efforts for the past five 
years at class dinners and reunions. 

Immediately followed the famous trial for the awarding of the 
long distance cup, Judge Buchanan presiding. Mulford, Belden, 
Dr. Smith and Mosher were the claimants, each represented by a 
ball-of-fire lawyer. Maury's cross examinations of witnesses were 
supreme examples of the art — any art. Juror number six, Arm- 
strong by name, was forcibly ejected from the jury box for obstrep- 
erous conduct and refusing medical attention. Trimble's impassioned 
pleas to the jury brought tears to the eye of every listener and there 
wasn't a dry throat in the tent. Amid tremendous excitement, the 
jury filed out and after due deliberation brought in the verdict for 
Doc. Smith, who had traveled 4,500 miles or more from Edmonton, 
Alberta. 

The cup was presented to the blushing Doc with great applause. 
Jim Woodrow got the consistent traveller cup, by having averaged 
over 700 miles each year for the past five to get back to the big 
reunion. Cups were presented to seven more who had travelled 
from west of the Mississippi to get back to the Quinquennial. They 
were B. Taylor, Doc Smith, Perry Belden, Mul. Mulford, Gene 
Kelley, Mose Mosher and Ed. Beck. Then after a few songs in 
chorus up on the platform and a fine concert by Ed and his willing 
workers, the evening came on, the best evening of all, some say. 

There was more pep than ever — the sweet strains of Annie Laurie, 
sung by Fat floated out into the balmy June night, and the nightin- 
gales grew green witih envy. 

Then a surprise was sprung — one of the Ringmasters called on 
Mose Mosher, who was sitting in the audience with his trusty fiddle 
held like a child beneath his arm. Lots of men in the class never 
knew Mose played, but he sure got away with it big. Not a 
sound was heard in the whole tent, as he held them entranced for 
half an hour and they called for encore after encore. This was one 

27 



of the pleasant surprises of reunion and we'll never miss Mose again 
when we get a chance at him. 

Ed Annin sitting embracing a stein on the platform edge, missed

train after train while his father rushed frantically around the 
station singing — "where is my wandering son." 

The tent stayed open till after one, while those who had jobs were 
leaving — "The owners of position" stayed over till the next day, 
which next day brought in a new idea at Princeton — the Postum 
Dansant. Chick Turner made the dance a success by rushing up a 
relief column at the crucial moment. The ten ladies seemed to have 
a great time and Ed. Brown proved that Europe had nothing on 
him when it came to fox trot and hesitation. Many a bachelor had 
a big thrill as he saw the greatest galaxy of charm and beauty ever 
gathered beneath one canvas covering, since the world was young. 

From the sawdust dance, all moved to Williams Street for '09's 
big athletic meet. Everything then went smoothly and many worlds 
records were broken amid the cheers of hundreds of spectators who 
crowded both sides of the street. The greatest event of all was the 
twenty-five yard race for ladies. That was some race. It was won 
by a plucky six yard diving slide, the like of which has never been 
seen since Eddie Collins won the game in the ninth inning in his 
famous slide to the plate. 

It was a big morning for '09 and for Chick Turner. The old 
guard of the class took possession of the whole town in the after- 
noon. Maury commandeered a hot dog wagon and dispensed the

fried Fidos to one and all. His gymnastic stunts on the wagon had 
Fred Stone of Montgomery & Stone jealous as any bride, and Jim 
risked his neck while the populace cheered. As the shades of even- 
ing fell over the elms, the rear guard of '09 smoked the pipes of 
peace and fellowship at the remains of the tent and agreed unani- 
mously that the greatest reunion in '09's record of five big ones had 
rolled into history. So be it set down — it was some reunion. 

On behalf of the class, we (editorial staff), wish to congratulate 
each and every man who had anything to do with this biggest re- 
union, and who would that leave out? For it is just that get-together 
and pull hard spirit which makes '09 different. That eagerness to 
help — and every man does help, — makes the success he shares in, 
wdiich is as it should be. 

The reunion Committee deserves a bunch of credit also — but one 
especially — he who is in himself a host — and if he cuts this out of the 
account I'll kick him — that is Josh Brush who from the drop of the 
hat till the last tent peg is pulled up — is on the job — as he is all 
through the year — to keep '09 working together and smoothly for 
the common good. 

So long then — see you all in June.

OR 

QUINQUELLOGRAMS 

Judge Cooper has a pass on every railroad in the U. S., except the 
Pennsy. Coming to reunions from Jacksonville, Fla., the thought 
of that carfare from Philadelphia to Princeton quite provoked him. 
It is suggested that on his next trip some philanthropic Philadelphian 
'09 man bring him up in his auto. 



In New York rumor has it that Cunningham is getting to be a 
devil with the ladies ! The Lion of the Triangle Club is now the 
Fox Trotter of the Social Circle. 



Now that Bayard is in Syria and Cleve in this country, it ought to 
be comparatively easy to greet the latter with some certainty of 
success. 



Ralph Gamble is a volunteer fireman in Larchmont, N. Y. Sprint- 
ing to fires he grabs the heat away from other runners. 



Wilbur LaRoe is in Washington. Wilson, Daniels, etc., are among 
other Princetonians there. Wilbur is the boy who made Perth 
Amboy famous. 



Pop Silver popped the question to Reddy Milne's sister. Now 
that they are brothers-in-law they have a new relationship towards 
the Class. 



Nutting is in the insurance business. The risks some of our 
boys take are appalling. 



No ! Obefammergau is not named after the Obers. They admit 
this themselves — all three of them.

Boston, March 9, 1915. 

95 Pinckney St. 
Dear Josh : 

Boston — where I am sojourning at present, working for the Massachusetts 
State Board of Agriculture, is "a far county" with respect to Princeton. To 
hear Princeton spoken of as a southern college and to have to listen to 
continual smug conversation about the University — meaning just one thing — 
Hawvawd — make one believe the say that "New England is not a place, but a 
state of mind." 

Holley Clark came over here on his first visit last September to spy out 
the land and after seeing "Repayment Car" for "Pay-as-you-enter" and 
"crustaceans" for "shell-fish" on a hotel menu he was convinced that the 
humorous side of Boston had not been overdrawn. Here is one that appeared 
in one of Boston's own papers a few days ago : 
"I live in dear old Boston 

The home of beans and cod 
Where the Cabots speak only with Lowells 
And the Lowells speak only with God." 
One thing about this city that is not well enough advertised is that every 
Wednesday at one o'clock a few do gather together for lunch at Bova's res- 
taurant on Arch Street, and have some beans and cod together, and they be 
all Princeton men. If any of the class of 1909 happen to be in these parts for 
either pleasure or business on that day I hope they will drop in and they 
can be sure of a warm welcome. 

I do not know that I can add anything of a personal nature which is not 
given in the statistics sent you some time ago. If all our reunions are as good 
as the Fifth we will have to print some S. R. O. signs and hang them outside 
the tent of an evening. With kind regards, I am, 

Fraternally, 

"Eddy" Annin. 
I hope this letter is in time for the book.

Princeton, April 26, 1915. 
Dear Josh : 

Glad to get your letter and hear that the reunion plans are coming along 
so well. 

The costumes sound cool, which is the main thing. Don't be afraid of lack 
of originality if you do go back to the Garden of Eden for a few suggestions 
on the subject of dress. 

My own history since our big Third Reunion, will not take up much space. 
The summer of 1912 I spent at work in the American Embassy at Vienna 
(please note the "at work"). The fall of 1912 I resumed work at the Har- 
vard Law School. The place seemed sadder and quieter than before, rhe 
reason being the departure of such sterling barristers as Squire Cass, die 
gebriider Myers and other '09 lights. However Fred Mayer and myself ap- 
plied ourselves assiduously to the sheep-skin tomes and the following June 
saw us southward bound, from Cambridge. Unfortunately exams prevented 
my attending our "Fourth" which I hear was well up to standard. The 
summer of 1913 I spent sleeping in Princeton and working in Newark. My 
brief career as a lawyer (police take notice) was spent in that pretty little 
New Jersey town nestled on the banks of the pleasantly purling Passaic. 
During the hot summer months it was a cooling and refreshing sight to see 
Harry Trimble and Dick Hartshorne mounting the Court House steps on their 
way to uphold the cause of the downtrodden and oppressed. 

June 1914, saw me finally ensconced on the safe side of the New Jersey 
Bar which feat was accomplished just in time to land me inside the tent tor 
our Fifth. Where those days went, I don't know. It certainly was a great 
reunion. The first thing I knew the tent was gone, and I was alone wi'.h 
Maury discussing the Battle of Trenton. Maury told me in confidence he 
didn't blame the poor old Hessians for getting drunk in Trenton on Nev/ 
Year's eve. He thought Washington was pretty hard-hearted to take advan- 
tage of it. After last summer spent in the woods of Maine and Canada, I 
took up Graduate work in International Law and History, and have had a 
splendid year here in the Graduate College. 

I expect to be on hand in June. We cannot have too many cooks this 
year. Hope Germany's being at war won't affect the quality or quantity of 
the "refreshments." 

Hoping to see you soon. 

Sincerely yours, 

Norman Armour.

George has attended all Reunions. 

To the members of the Class of 1909, 
Gentlemen : 
I would write of Reunions, of Reunion tents, and of Reunion banquets. 
There is much in all of these that I, for one, would like to see changed. I 
ask you to call into mind your definite impressions of Reunion. Let the 
knocking department speak first. Misfit tawdriness, noise, a band, constant 
marching to nowhere, the tent, the odor of stale beer, artificial sentiment, 
everything thoroughly organized, the fifth annual installment of a never 
original drewel, more noise, weariness, emptiness, a graphic description by 
contortion of how to escape from a straight jacket when you do reach the 
asylum, things worse, things worse, everything but the worst, and then they 
say we had a successful reunion ! I frankly have never felt much more bored, 
or lost, or lonely than in a Reunion tent. And outside, on the campus, the 
darkness is so dark, and the quietness so quiet, particularly for the effete and 
city bred. To be sure, many offer and assure me of a certain palliative for 
such mawkish sentiments, but my discovery is that they are themselves next 
morning a prey to worse. 

45 



And I am always pierced 'by the thought that this organized Tommy- 
twaddle is not what a large body of us want at Reunions. I have 
talked with many men who have felt more earnestly and deeply what I have. 
Right here get my note, which is not moral reform, nor the abolishment of 
the tent for those who may really enjoy it, but as I am sure there are others 
who want something different, to find out if it would not be possible to make 
the attempt to get it. 

To turn the picture to the praising department. First, let's hear our many 
cynical friends, who assure me there is nothing in the 'Reunion except the 
beer. They say we shake hands with men we never knew in college, and we 
ask after their health, and we find out their business, and then we ask after 
their health again. That is all. I would remind them of the long thrilling 
talk with the man going down in the train on your respective businesses. How 
you lied about wonderful success, and parried the salary question (for you 
didn't dare to tell what you made), and nearly fainted when he told you his 
commission in the last six months. Later, to be sure, you met a man in his 
of^ce v/ho told you the real truth, but was your own tale strictly accurate? 
A.B. that I am, the C.E. fresh from the Argentine where he was padrone 
to eight hundred live souls, the only boss of fifty square and wild miles, 
inspires me even to hat taking off. Or, there is the man who wrote a play, 
and told me of its soul, and of the managers. And again, whatever my views 
on the foreign mission field, the man who will go to China, or Eastern Syria, 
or Patagonia to stay perhaps a decade, takes me beyond the hat off period. 

Then I would point out to the cynics the interest of talking to the man 
who like themselves is only plugging along slowly. I, myself, like to talk 
to my fellow clerks. We have learned in our five years to pierce many a 
bubble of our big and successful brother. It always delights my soul to 
bring low the proud V.P., the fat sales-manager, the rich bond salesman, 
compare him to my standard and my measure, and many times, though not 
always, to find that the possibility of equalizing the problem is not impossible, 
and that he too has failed as often and in as much as I have. Besides, we 
clerks still have the romance of planning the future, when we shall ourselves 
conquer the world. 

And then the pleasure of home going with old thoughts restarted, and pos- 
sibly a stray and new thought mixing you all up quite pleasantly, with old 
friendship renewed, and with some men in your thoughts, who were strangers 
to you at Princeton but whom you will be glad to see again, and who you 
hope v.-ill be glad to see you when the city or the country bumps you together 
again. I would summarize the Real of Reunion thus : 

1. The pleasure of companionship. 

2. The inspiration of some and in some. 

3. The satisfaction that the average is no better than you, and is failing 
as often. 

Now to what I advocate. The Real of Reunion we have most of us gained 
at odd moments, on the train coming or going, walking to the tent, or about 
the campus, and so on. Let me state right now I believe in democracy, and 
in the rights of democracy. If we want something, let us try to get it. Am

nothing for an isolated bunch with literary bubbles, but something open to all 
who will. I don't want canned sentiment. I don't plead for an opportunity 
for fanatics to plead their cause of social service or aught else. But I ask is it 
not possible while the Big Tent is tenting, for those of us who would do 
something else to do it? Surely, it may be boring, but merciful Heavens, 
could it be more awful than the fifth annual instalment of the inimitable 
inanity ? 

What is needed is a more or less quiet place, away from the tent. Beer, 
why not, but not too much of it, and all that goes with too much. A pleasant 
feeling of sociability, and a program. Of course, here's the rubber. But I 
know it could be worked out. There is the breadth of the faculty to draw 
on for what we will. I have always wanted to know what the University is 
doing. Why not ask some member to come and really tell us what is going on. 
And athletics ; an opportunity to learn what the coaches are doing, and what 
they plan, told if possible by themselves, or through a talk by the football cap- 
tain. And then there is ourselves. We could work up something. You believe it 
impossible, I know it isn't. I am pretty well bored with many things, but I 
have never failed to be interested in listening to the recital of what a man 
is doing, provided he also tells you what he is planning and hopes to do. 
Natural, simple no more style than we are capable of, with the opportunity 
for questioning, and if it don't prove more interesting than the inanities, we 
can let out a fanatic. Or this year there is the War. If we couldn't work up 
something on that, why this isn't an idea at all. 

What I advocate, then, for those of us who will not the Tent, is this. At 
the time when the Tent is tenting hardest, an opportunity to enjoy com- 
pionship in a different and somewhat quieter corner of the campus, with a 
definite program, made as interesting and also as positive as can be. The 
purpose of this to open to all of the class who will the Real of Reunion. 

I am not trying to sell or push this scheme, but I am positively interested 
in it and prepared to do what I can. If you are interested, write me, if 
only a postal. There must be some general demand for it, or the attempt 
were fruitless. Therefore we must know of this demand, so write me a line, 
if you want anything done. I understand the plans are under way for a 
Sixth bigger than the Fifth. 

I am, gentlemen.

Born on April 8 1887, at Philadelphia, Pa. Son of William Woodward Arnett

Bill has attended all Reunions. 

Dear Classmates : 

The little appeal at the head of the Fifth Year Record blank which heads, 
"What kind of a class would my class be, 
If every member were just like me?" 
is irresistible. I am so anxious to know what the rest of you are all doing 
that I would hate to think what the result would be if every man followed 
my first inclination to postpone this letter writing business indefinitely and I 
therefore "take pen in hand" to do my share. 

After taking a two year's graduate course in electrical engineering, at 
Princeton, I started in on the game of "getting experience" which is the 
usual lot of the newly graduated engineer and is a more or less euphoneous 
name for getting up at six and working for ten hours in a dirt}' machine 
shop up to one's eyelids in oil and grease, on a minimum wage. 

To go the whole hog and banish cleanliness entirely, I chose Pittsburgh and 
spent a year and a half in the Westinghouse shops. Joe Chamberlain '07, 
was in my class in the electrical school and also joined the Westinghouse Co. 
and being companions in misery, we hitched up together on the second floor 
of a house that displayed a "rooms for rent" sign in the front window and 
there of an evening we discussed the latest dope from "the little burgh." 

A year ago last spring we both got restless. Joe got to talking about how 
the prairie would be in bloom down home in Texas and how fine it would feel 
to get astride a pony again and pretty soon he lit out for San Antonio. I 
persuaded the Company to send me to the electrified division of the New 
York, New Haven & Hartford R. iR. and spent the summer at Stamford, 
Conn., engaged in a more or less successful effort to keep the electrical 
equipment of that road off the junk pile. In the fall, I moved to New York 
and Floyd Crosby and I together with a Lehigh man spent a very pleasant 
winter together in the latter's apartments near Washington Square, enjoying 
the delights of civilization once more after my exile in Pittsburgh. 

I don't mean to knock Pittsburgh, though. Outside of the dirt and the 
fact that I was a stranger there, I liked the city and in some ways would 
rather live there than in the East. 

Last spring I took a vacation and with Alfred Olcott went to Ashville, N. C, 
to visit Wells Kerr and Don Roberts, who are teaching school there. We 
hired horses and went off for a four day's trip in the mountains around 
Ashville (which are the highest East of the Rockies), and had a delightful 
and adventurous journey. 

I am now located in the anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania working 
for the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Co. We generate power here from the 
waste product of the mines and in addition to transmitting it to the region 

49 



around Allentown and Easton, we are installing a large amount of electrical 
apparatus in the collieries. 

We are sprinkling the landscape with sub-stations and among other things 
will put into operation shortly the two largest electrical mine hoists in the 
country. 

My best wishes to all "ought niners," 

Yours as ever, 

Bill Arnett.

Dear Josh : 

You say you want me to write and tell you what I've been doing since the 
memorable and far-famed year of 1909. Well, I'm still with the good ship 
Harris, Forbes & Company, and together with those well-known financiers, 
E. T. Holsapple and C. Vezin. Am 'busy trying to separate investors from 
their hard-earned coin. The war gave the bond business a pretty stififjolt 
at first, but now everything is going along again in good shape. For five 
years I was in the buying end of our business specializing on public utility 
bonds — gas, electric light and power street railway, water and telephone. 
Since last November, however, I have gone into the selling end here in New 
York City and like it immensely. Haven't missed a reunion or a big game yet 
and don't intend to. Am looking forward to our "Sixth" in June and hope we 
will have a bunch back. Here's hoping that every member of '09 is well and 
happy and that the "first six years out" have started everybody on the road 
to success. 

As ever, 

Doug.

Bogota, N. J.,, Nov. 22, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

One more delinquent heard from and if it is not too late, give my best to 
the Class and here is hoping we will all meet again next June at Princeton. I 
cannot write a letter with much breeze to it, as I save all my breeze and speed 
for Commencement. But in order not to miss my nook in the Class Record, 
J will write a couple of lines biographically speaking and then bid adieu. 

Since leaving Columbia in June, 1912, I have either worked in or visited 
nearly every mining camp in the western country and also found time to take 
a side trip to Anticosti Island, Canada, where I put in a very pleasant winter 
of five months with Bill Hallimond. Since last May I have 'been killing time 
"till the war is over" with the Palisades Park Commission up the Hudson near 
Bear Mt., N. Y. After that, if I do not happen to be married, I suppose 
it will he on the road again, always returning, I trust, in time for our (Reunion 
each year. And in conclusion, I would like to put in a strong plea for a 
Reunion of the Class every year as that is the only bright spot a poor 'bachelor 
has to look forward to, in his miserable existence. 

Best to you. Josh, and will see you at the dinner this winter. Will send 
you a picture if I can find one and it is not too late. 

As ever, 

John C. Beam.

Jan., 21, 1915. 
Dear Josh : 

I was under the impression that enclosed form I had mailed to you long ago 
and hope still in time. Some time early in February, I suppose the Class 
dinner will be pulled off, and I would give a hell of lot to be there but as 
you can readily understand, heing so far away, it is impossible. I did a lot 
in getting fcack to the "Fifth" and I am sure no one present was happier than 
I. It was worth anything and all praise to the Committee for their work in 
making it such a huge success. I expect to be there sure for the "Tenth" — 
perhaps the "Seventh." 

At the dinner give all the "Studes" my best, and though not present in 
body, my thoughts soul and heart will be "with you all" and if possible will 
celebrate down here that night by getting a "peach" — "a perfectly good one." 
Keep me, posted of all doings, for though far away, I don't want to feel I 
am completely out of it. 

Ever yours, Ed R. Beck.

Nesterville, Ontario, April 19, 1915. 
My Dear Josh : - 

Your notice in the Alumni Weekly reminds me that I have not sent you any 
dope concerning self for the Fifth year book. 

I am located in an outpost of civilization called Nesterville in Ontario, 
Canada, occupation manufacturing lumber, and that only means ten hours 
per diem these war times if one wants to keep manufacturing. The climate 
in these out of way places is very salubrious, no cinders in the air, nor glare 
from the bright lights to rob one from proper rest, so a little work does not 
come amiss. Have been in the lumber business about four years but only 
been sentenced here two years. At present there is no pardon in sight, 
my ofifense must have been very grave. 

S6 



The out-of-door life here is quite enjoyable. We have good hunting and 
nearly every fall we arrange a moose hunting trip. Occasionally I get down 
to Chicago and Toronto which make very delightful changes. 

Would 'be pleased to see any students desiring to take a rest at any time. 
We run open ibachelor quarters and there is always room in the trenches for 
one more. 

With best regards to all, I am as ever.

Dear Josh : 

You ask for a letter on the past five years of my life. They have been 
spent to a great extent in jumping from one place to another: El Paso, 
Texas, working in a railroad company and travelling through West Texas, 
Arizona, New Mexico and Northern Mexico, then after two years there, back 
to New York where I entered the Hamburg American Line, which work 
seems to have predestined me for a wandering existence. New York, New 
Orleans, Chicago, Hamburg, Montreal have been my various places of resi- 
dence during the past three years, the last stay having been cut short by the 
unfortunate trend of European affairs, so that now I am back in New York, 
where I hope to remain, at least as my headquarters. The fall of 1913 and 
winter of 1914, most of which T spent in Hamburg, saw me travelling on 
business through Germany, Holland, Belgium, Austria, and along the German- 
Russian frontier. 

During the above period, despite my wanderings I have managed to keep

up with the rest of the class, or shall I say best, and in October, 1910, I was 
married and have two sons, one three years old and one four months, who I 
trust, will some day enter Princeton. I have been to three out of our five 
reunions, missed out on the other two on account of being in El Paso and in 
New Orleans at the time. 

You have a very big work ahead of you compiling the very interesting 
record and so I will not add to your labors by writing a letter which might 
have to be cut down, or "censored," and so I will close with every good 
wish, from 

Yours very sincerely.

Dear Josh : ■ . - 

I'm not married yet or soon. Even if I did take a girl to a show three 

60 



years ago, that was a dirty Irish trick of yours in "After three years" and 
am writing you a letter this time, so you can't pull any of -that stuff again. 
You see I learned my lesson. But if I ever got you down, you can bet you'll 
say "Uncle." 

Since 1912 have been trying to make both ends meet by sticking to engi- 
neering from the contracting end with Henry Steers, Inc., until January, 1914, 
and spent most of the time in Maryland on the Bush & Gunpowder Rivers 
(God bless them with the accent on the bless) building bridges for the 
P. R. R. One was a mile long and the other about three thousand feet 
reinforced concrete over a "tidal estuary" as one of the Penn engineers put 
it, but in A.B. language "a damn swamp." Then got sent up to Newark 
Bay rebuilding the Pennsy bridge that had burnt down and on the night 
shift. It rained all the time and just believe me, Newark Bay on a rainy 
night is a lovely spot. 

- After that, did the estimating for the company, till I left in January to go 
in business with Harold Barker a very old friend, who didn't see the light 
^d went to Brown. We are contractors and engineers and specializing on 
concrete and bituminous concrete roads. We haven't stolen anything yet that 
I've seen, but our friends tell us that all road contractors are crooks there- 
fore we must be, so there's still hope for a little honest graft. 

- We are building some concrete roads over in Greenwich, Conn., and I've 
got to be there to-morrow morning at seven and it's late now, so see you at 
the Yale game. Josh, good luck to you and good night, 

(Signed) Dave.

Helena, Mont., March 6, igiS- 
Dear Josh : 

■ Several months ago I started to write you the story of my life for the past 
live'years or so, and it seemed a difficult task to inject any real interest into my 
rather prosaic career. I had been employed continuously since leaving col- 

61 



lege, by the same institution — the National Bank of Montana, and while I 
had made progress in my work it had not been a sudden rise to fame or even 
notoriety. Starting in as a bookkeeper I had passed up through the various 
stages until I had reached the far-from-dizzy height of receiving teller. As 
each advancement was more lucrative I constantly widened my activities 
until in June, 1913, I took the one big leap and became an old staid married 
man. My wife, formerly Miss Celeste Eastlake, is the daughter of Dr. and 
Mrs. Lewis S. Eastlake of Chicago, 111. While all loyal 'ogers were reuning 
that year, I was honej^mooning and strange to say I didn't seem to envy the 
fellows back in the big tent, although I would have given most anything to 
have been there long enough to freshen up the old friendship that time and 
distance are so apt to erase. 

The next big event in our little home was the arrival of the "Stork Special," 
which stopped at our door on Oct. 12, 1914, and left us a fine nine pound girl. 
Tt took me several weeks to get the top 'buttons of my waistcoat buttoned but 
now the paternal air has adjusted itself to my shoulders and I am now just 
a doting father. Already in these few months, our young hopeful has strug- 
gled through an attack of bronchial pneumonia, but she is back in the heavy- 
weight class again and no one would ever guess she had -been so sick. 

As far as I could see it was my lot to keep on in the same old way, for of 
course, advancement in a small institution is necessarily slow. But suddenly 
everything has changed. Within a week an opportunity has presented itself 
and been promptly grasped. Last week I was elected to the position of 
Assistant Cashier with the Commercial National Bank of Great Falls, Mont., 
and am now actively engaged in making preparations to move there and take 
up my new duties. Bill O'Brien is located at Great Falls now so we will no 
doubt have several reunions of our own. Bill is with a firm of contractors 
and seems wedded to this western country. 

There have been several positions which I am compelled to give up on 
account of my move, that is positions outside of the ibank. For the past two 
years I have been Secretary of the Montana iCIub, one of the finest social 
clubs of the Northwest. There are several Princeton men on its membership 
roll, including George G. E. Neill '07, Dr. P. G. Cole '06, C. E. Larabie '09 of 
Deer Lodge, Mont., and myself. During the past winter this Princeton crowd 
has been trying to interest Helena boys in our old school and while it has been 
but a small service, we have all worked with the hope that we were promoting 
the interests of Princeton. 

I have also acted as Treasurer for the Helena Philharmonic Society and in 
the same capacity for the State of Montana Advancement Association, an 
organization designed to promote healthful, constructive legislation. During 
this past fall and winter this latter organization has waged a successful cam- 
paign for a just and reasonable Workmen's Compensation Act. 

Well, Josh, I have tried to tell you just about all that has happened since 
I left Princeton and I hope I have not crowded in so much of self that I have 
excluded heartiest wishes and greetings to all other struggling 'ogers. li any 
of them ever turn their faces westward there is one place at least where they 
will b'i accorded a hearty welcome for it is seldom that I see any of the old

My dear Josh : 

Having been so unfortunate as to miss our Fifth last June, I am looking 

forward with no little pleasure to the edition of the new number of the 

"iRecord." I anticipate many a pleasant hour here in my study with the 

fellows when it arrives. Often I take down the old Triennial copy from the 

64 



shelf and become so engrossed in it that on the day following such an 
excursion into memory and dreamland, I hear the shuffling of student's feet 
in front of my desk, their owners impatient at the instructor's evident lack 
of preparation, and then, later in the day, am obliged to bear the ignomy 
of not being able to "state the facts and the law in the case of )Roe vs. Doe, 
15 P. D. Q. 726." 

For, you will please understand that, during part of the day, I answer to 
the quite respectable title of Professor of Technical English in the Schools 
of Engineering and Mines of the University of Pittsburgh, while for the 
remainder of the same day I sit humbly at the feet of divers more or less 
learned gentlemen of the faculty of the Law School of the same institution, 
among whom is none other than our own "Johnny" Buchanan, and who, I 
beg leave to observe, is to be categoried, very emphatically, as belonging to 
the former group. 

You may well conclude from the foregoing, when considered in connection 
with the fact that Saturday nights and most of Sundays find me engaged in an 
attempt to coax as much harmony as possible from the very unharmonious 
choir and as little discord as possible from the very discordant organ of 
Christ Episcopal Church, that time does not lie exactly heavily upon my 
hands. 

The "gude wife" frequently admonishes me with a gentle inquiry if I am 
aware of her existence, only to receive the diplomatic answer that she must 
not be jealous of these temporal things, for they only assist in their attain- 
ment toward a fuller appreciation of her own dear self ! 

Whether or not an office filled with a legal atmosphere — and empty chairs, 
will next fall prove a welcome change from the present humdrum monotony 
must, until then, remain a matter of conjecture. At any rate, the "shingle"' 
will be out and I shall be in, with a right hand ready to welcome any 
Naughty-niner that happens my way (and a left that will try to behave itself 
at least as honestly as the average lawyer's is supposed to). 

Faithfully yours, 

Ed Bothwell.

Kingsville, Texas, Nov. 5, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

It's hard to realize that I haven't seen a member of the class for nearly 
two years, but I've been just that much of an exile. The biggest disappoint- 
ment of my life was when I just barely missed going 6ack to the Fifth last 
June and I'll always regret it even though it was due to cirmumstances 
which I couldn't control. 

My autobiography for the past five years is brief and uneventful. I spent 
half of my first year with an irrigation company in Idaho. Then I drifted to 
railroad work with the Frisco Line in Texas. With the exception of a few 
months on a development project in California in 1913, I have spent the rest 
of my career since graduation with the Frisco and its subsidiaries in Texas, 
Louisiana, Missouri and Arkansas and am now with the St. Louis, Brownsville 
& Mexico which became independent of the hig system shortly after the 
receivership last year. 

Haven't 'been east since Christmas 1912, but I'm swaying 'between a desire 
to go home this winter to see a little "sure nuff" snow and a hankering to 
wait for the big Sixth next June. At this writing the odds are in favor of the 
big tent. 

You fellows who are within hailing distance of Princeton don't realize 
what a hardship it is to have to pass up reunions year after year. That's 
my chief objection to Texas. My only glimpse of the campus since our 
last eventful year as undergraduates, was at our second reunion in 191 1 and 
I'm firmly resolved that, should I ever be fortunate enough to live in the 
east again, I'll make up for lost time and trot off to the old town at the 
least semblance of a provocation. 

Here's hoping that the success you've had during the past five years will 
repeat itself many times before we're ten years out. 

Sincerely, 

Jos. F. Boyd.

Dear Josh : 

Sorry to add to your troubles by writing at this late date, the fact is that 
I have just kept putting off unthinkingly until I saw in the Alumni Weekly 
that all letters must be in by the 15th. I don't know if this will reach you in 
time for puhlication, but still I am taking a chance and hope for the worst. 
We just moved into what I hope is to be our permanent home last Novem- 
ber, and ever since then have had our hands full getting settled and straight- 
ened out. There has been so much to do that we have frequently found it 

67 



necessary to employ convict labor. I enclose a photo of one of my chain 
gangs, the two on the ends are particularly hard looking bums, but I kept 
them quiet with plenty of hard work and fire-water. You can probably recog- 
nize them as the famous Myers Bros, of Princeton, Harvard Law School, 
etc., etc. You could tell Charley anywhere by his hat. The other lad with his 
elbow planted on my manly bosom never went to prison — I mean Princeton, 
but I couldn't cut him out of the picture without personal injury to myself 
and perhaps loss of life, so I had to let him stay. "Chick" Turner has been 
out once or twice in bad weather when he couldn't be worked outside — but 
I've never succeeded in getting him to perform in fair weather. Among 
out of town visitors in addition to the Myers Bros., we have had "J- R-" 
Maury sometimes called James and R. Newton Lupper, the king of Spring- 
field, Ohio. Bo'b arrived Monday looking natural as life and almost human. 
I had to keep him outside the house until the children went to bed, he 
frightened them so, they thought he was an "Ourang-Outang" — ^he lasted two 
days and then retired to Springfield to rest. 

We have a near farm out here of sixty-nine acres — just at present we are 
getting ready for spring planting. The trees are all getting green, some 
of the shrubbery is flowering and crocuses and hyacinths have been out for 
some time. It's a great life, and I get spring fever pretty badly every morn- 
ing when I have to beat it to town, where I am still slaving in the Munsey 
Trust Co., hoping some day to be a cashier as "Chap"' Spencer is or maybe 
outstrip him, even, and be a president or board of directors. In addition 
to the picture of which I spoke above I enclose one of my oldest son, at 
present about two and a half years old. I won't say much about him except 
that he's a great kid. In closing, here's to a most succesful reunion this year 
and best wishes to all the class. 

Yours in crime, 

Stans Brady.

Newark, N. J., Aug. 10, 1915. 
Gentlemen : 

Having put in nearly 500 hours of work and pleasure, pursuing you all 
relentlessly from apartment house to bungalow and from bungalow to busi- 
ness ; prying into the ancient and modern history of your pedigree and 
progen\r, collating all your habits, favorite fish, indoor sport, and shrine 
of worship, the whole tone of this letter should be forgiveness for all 
crimes committed. But the job 'jf author, when it is combined with that of 



Census Taker and Family Photographer is some little job and is my only 
plea for clemency. I trust that by this time we have gathered enough folk lore 
to make that General Biographer work overtime and I assure you that you will 
not be bothered again. 

Having requested each man to relate his history since graduation, I submit 
the following to avoid collision with my critical colleagues. 

Graduating a full-fledged C.E., I went into the world expecting to build a 
Brooklyn Bridge or a Xew York sk3fscraper the following week, but the first 
bump was to find myself way up in a Connecticut swamp (which the towns- 
people hoped me to convert into a reservoir) in charge of seventy-three full 
blooded wops. The incidents and accidents in that county, where men 
swap wives for horses, would furnish material for several Jack London 
novels. There I got my first taste of real C.E. life and probably my last and 
resolved to enter the manufacturing game. 

The next scene shifts to an asbestos factory in the wilds of Brooklyn, where 
twelve hours per diem was in vogue. Here I learned how to make anything 
from pipe-covering to a theatre curtain. When you consider covering- 
pipes alone in the Municipal Bldg. in New York City totaled up $75,000.00 you 
can get some idea of what it must cost to erect a skyscraper. The ex- 
perience gained here in cost system was well worth while. 

My next adventure was with a lithographing machinery house. To learn 
how to produce economically and artistically anything from a label to a 
poster at a time when lithographing was undergoing momentous changes in 
method of production and machinery was mightily interesting work. To 
sell these machines costing anywhere from $4500.00 to $25,000.00 necessi- 
tated living with one hand on my grip and repeated traveling about the coun- 
try. On my trips these five years I think I saw nearly every Ought Nine 
man living this side of the Mississippi. That is in any really respectable size 
town. As living on the road is not a very happy lot for a married man, I 
looked about for a little plant that I could build up and where the work 
would keep me nearer home. 

The opportunity presented itself this spring in the form of a dentifrice 
which had been on the market for fifteen years, but had been neglected from 
every business and advertising viewpoint. "Brush and Tooth-paste. — Very 
good ! Eddy," says I. While asbestos, lithograph machines and tooth paste 
are not exactly along the same line, still the main business principles of 
manufacture are identical, be it horseshoe nails or submarines. 

Upon investigation I learned that this dentifrice had a reputation second to 
none and was being recommended by the dental profession all over the 
country, So on the fifth day of February, 1915, I started in the dentifrice 
business, as Treasurer and General Manager of the Dentacura Company of 
Newark, N. J. The new white tube and carton, plus a little advertising 
at a time when the care of the teeth was being emphasized by the Board of 
Education, has materially increased our little business and we are enthusiastic- 
ally planning new schemes for future development. We also manufacture 
several other toilet preparations which Avill be brought to the front in short 
order. And so it goes. 

71 



Such is the narrative of my first five years and about all I can say is that 
I've just started and hope by the tenth year to report progress. Your clem- 
ency, gentlemen for all this extended lecture on the vocational adventures of 
Josh Brush. 
With heartiest well wishes and hoping to see you all at the Big Seventh. 
As ever, your classmate, 

Josh Brush.

Johnnie attended our Fourth and Fifth Reunions. 

Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 15, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

Long ago I managed to accomplish the mechanical tasks of filling out the 
blanks which you sent me, but I find it very much harder to write when I'm 
not answering questions — hence the delay as to this letter. Because I feel 
guilty by reason of the long delay, I can't wait to scare up something in- 
teresting to say, but at the expense of dullness will be, to use your words, 
"as personal as possible," and merely say what's happened to me since the 
Triennial. 

I graduated from Harvard Law School, where the hardest work I've ever 
had to do was in large measure compensated for by the fact that I v^^as always 
with a big body of Princeton men, a week or two after the Third Reunion, 
missing that big even on account of examinations at the time when it 
became history. I had a long vacation that summer, at Eaton's Ranch in 
Wyoming and on a horseback trip through Yellowstone Park, and short 
vacations the next two summers, spent partly at our Fourth and Fifth Re- 
unions and partly at Beaumaris in Canada. With the exception of these 
trips and one to Atlantic City this fall, when I was recovering from a bad 
attack of hay fever, I have been steadily at work here since Sept. 16, 1912, 
chiefly for the firm of Gordon & Smith, but on a small scale on my own 
account also. This year I am varying the usual run of work a little by 
teaching a course in Conflict of Laws in the Pittsburgh Law School, and 
contrary to my fears am finding it quite interesting — 'but you see I'm not one 
of the victims of the teaching. But I won't go into detail about my work, 

72 



for it's growing late and I've talked enough, and the practice of law, while 
a very interesting thing to be engaged in, is a very unexciting thing to hear 
about. 

I haven't thought it worth while to run the risk of breaking a photogra- 
pher's camera since McManus did mj' face for the Class Album, 'but if I 
can find any snapshot in the possession of my friends to take the place 
of the inane looking copy made of me at the tent last June, I'll send it by a 
later post. 

With best wishes to all the Class. 

Always your friend, 

John G. B. 

47 DANIEL SPENCER BUDD C.E.

Railroad from 1910-1912. Assisted in construction of garbage disposal 
plant for Boston, Mass., in 1913. Since then farming at Chester, X. J., and

Quebec. 
Dan attended our First, Second, Third and Fourth Reunions. 

Chester, X^. J., Jan. 19, 1915. 
Dear Josh : 

The return of the accompanying "able" Class Dinner card reminds me that 
there is still outstanding some Fifth Year Record "dope," which I have 
endeavored to impart on the enclosed blank. The Biographical ^Record I have 
already answered. 

As to my doings since our Triennial, the chronicle is not a long one. At 
the beginning of the year 1912, I left the Long Island Railroad to assist in the 
design and erection of a garbage disposal plant at Boston — a rather smelly 
job at which the Bostonians naturally turned up their noses, hut which 
proved very interesting from an engineering standpoint. 

There were several other Ought Xiners living under the shadow of Har- 
vard, which helped make my stay in Boston a pleasant one. Then followed 
a most enjoyable — if not profitable— year of farming, during which agricul- 
tural 'bulletins were my chief literary diversions. Once in awhile I could, 
inveigle Ritchie Smith out for a week-end, and once or twice Ernest Wyckoff 
stopped a minute with his family on their way to X^ew York. 

Last June this term of rural independence was brought abruptly to a close 
by my being sent to Canada to build roads, and hence I missed the Fifth 
Reunion — a catastrophe which my contractor friends failed to realize. How- 
ever, the war and the winter have put a stop to construction activities in that 

73 



quarter, and so now I have plenty of time to look forward to the Big Dinner 
in New York. Until then, bye-bye. 

Sincerely, 

Dan Budd.

Dear Josh : 

You certainly must think me a "rotter" for being so tardy in sending in the 
statistical blank, and can only ofifer as an excuse my being such a rotten 
correspondent, and this you know already. 

The most important thing that has happened to me since last Commence- 
ment, was the birth of our second child, Jane Bunting, born Aug. 28, 1914- 
I think her 'big brother, who is now well over four years old, will be right 
on the job taking her around and showing her a good time a few years 
hence. The business world, as far as financial remuneration is concerned has 
certainly given me the go-by, but there is hope I suppose, the road to fortune 
is rough and very much up grade. For the past year I have been trying to 
scratch up some new business for the United Gas Improvement Co. here in 
Philadelphia, meeting with various successes and various failures. How- 
ever, we should worry ! 

Am terribly sorry, but will be unable to make the New York dinner this 
year, but will certainly be on the job next June. 

Yours, 

Aubrey R. Bunting.

Dear Josh : 

I have waited until the last moment to write this letter in the vain hope 
that in the meantime something would happen to me which might be of some 
interest to the other members of the class hut Bill Prizer has just called me 
up and demanded that I "get that letter in" so you will have to be satisfied 
with just the usual line. As a matter of fact it only seems a few months 
since I faced a similar predicament in trying to write you a letter for the 
Triennial Book. As you know I have been in the lumber business ever since 
I left Princeton and about the only thing worthy of note that has happened 
to me since I wrote you that last letter some two years ago was my appoint- 
ment as manager of the Eastern Sales Office of the Long-Bell Lumber Com- 
pany about the middle of last summer. Since that time I have been living 
in Philadelphia, and as I had been back to Princeton only once in five years 
you can realize how much I enjoy being where I can see some of the fellows 
occasionally. I am going to try to come up to the '09 dinner in February and, 
will surely be hack in June unless I am sent to Arkansas or South America 
or somewhere else before that time. 

I am not married, nor engaged, nor in that frame of mind which makes 
either possible, or desirable, but I am getting some very excellent training for 
that prevalent and popular state of servitude by associating with friends who 
have been blessed with offspring. It startles me sometimes, Josh, when I 
observe a proud parent holding his second son, or daughter, in a graceful, 
easy way that can only be attained through long practice, to remember that 
only a few years ago this same man wagered much coin of the realm that 
he could put down ten beers in half an hour and make them stay there 
fifteen minutes, and lost, both the wager and the heers, before an enthusias- 
tic audience at Doc's. 

The five years since June, 1909, have been mighty pleasant ones for me 
as well as mildly profitable and exceedingly busy. With kindest regards to 
all the fellows, I am, 

Most Sincerely, 

"Fats" Caldwell.

Irvin, Pa., Nov., 22, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

The Yale game woke me up with a start — no letter to Josh yet. So here 
goes. 

At the time of our Triennial I was busily engaged on engineering work for a 
bankrupt western railroad at Kansas City, hut in August of that year, I went 
over to Cairo, 111., as City Engineer. Cairo is noted chiefly for its large 
"bad nigger" population and its overabundance of even worse saloons which 
run twenty-four hours per day, three hundred and sixty-five days per year. 
There was lots of opportunity to get good engineering experience there, but 
in January, 1913, the beginning of the rainy season, six and one-half inches 
in one day, and rotten politics were too much for me, and I struck out for 
dear old Pennsylvania again ; not, however, until I had the satisfaction 
of helping to start a movement, which culminated in April in a complete 
change of City government, and the installation of the Commission Form of 
Government. 

For the next year I worked at various kinds of work for several Pennsyl- 
vania mining companies. Diamond-drill, prospecting them as Mine Clerk, and 
later Construction Engineer. 

In February, 1914, I went with a manufacturing concern here in my home 
town which makes mine cars and wheels. My work is partly on the sales 
end. In the sales work I travel all over Western Pennsylvania, and West 
Virginia. In my travels, as well as the Pittsburgh gang, I have had nice 
visits with two fellows who have not been with us for some time, Pete 
Graff, at Kittaming, Pa., and "Lawry" Lawrence, who is growing up with 
the thriving mining town of Logan, W. Va. 

You asked me to be personal. I have been. I will even go so far as to 
confide that thus far my endeavors to embark on a matrimonial venture, 
have met with no encouragement. 

With best wishes to yourself, and with heartfelt thanks to the class officers 
and the reunion committee for that corking reunion last June, I am. 

Sincerely yours. 

Cam.

Princeton, N. J., Oct. 21, 1914. 
Dear Joshua : 

I answered a lot of statistics a few months ago, hut to save you looking 
them up will fill in the blank sent and return it herewith. Will write you a 
letter sometime soon. 

Have spent two years in railroad engineering with the G. T. P. (Grand 
Trunk Pacific Ry.) in Canada and am back as an instructor in the engineer- 
ing department at Princeton. By the way, the head of the engineering de- 
partment here now is Professor Constant of Minnesota University, as you 
have no doubt heard, and the course is to be rearranged considerable, and 
I think improved. I'm in teaching for good and at Princeton for good, unless 
I get fired. Have taken a couple of years at the real work to keep one from 
getting too academic and intend to keep in touch with engineering practice 
by working during summer vacation if I can get a job. 

The only other item of interest is that I married the best girl in the world 
this summer. 

With best wishes to yourself. 

Sincerely, 

M. A. Campbell.

79 



Hayden, Colo., Oct. 17, 1914. 
My dear Josh : 

I hear from you indirectly occasionally through some of the fellows you 
visit. I wish your travels would send you out here into the Rockies for I'd 
like to acquaint you with "the garden spot of the West" and acquaint myself 
with the latest bicker on the members of the Class of '09. I surely hated 
to miss the Fifth Reunion, but it's made me only the more determined t<? 
throw in with you fellows on the next one I can get to and the Tenth at 
latest. 

As you know I spent three years at the Harvard Law School after gradua- 
tion, so I've only got two years "in the cold, cold world" to relate about. 

I put "Law" as my occupation in the printed list of questions, but really 
it's not over half of my work or way of making a living. 

I had filed on a 160 acre homestead the summer of my Sophomore year at 
college and this August I proved up on it after a seven year residence. I've 
been getting a little deeper into ranching each year since I first took up that 
land and with a partner in the cattle business, began running a bunch of 
Hereford cows five years ago and now have a one-half interest in a well 
bred bunch of about 300; we began with twenty-five head and marketed steers 
at three years old for beef, but by hreeding up we have been able to sell 
our male increase for bulls and this year turned off forty-six head of bull 
calves at weaning time (6 months) for as much as we used to get for two 
year old steers, fed through two winters. Summers we run our stuff part 
of the time on the open range and part of the time in fenced pastures. I 
put in on an average two days a week riding and helping look after the stuff; 
herding, branding, vaccinating, weaning, etc., also in marketing the bulls 
and buying new ones. In winter for five months we feed them hay. 

My homestead I have been slowly improving and now have a nice four 
room log house, barn and corral. I'll just send you a photo a friend took 
showing part of my shack. Have piped a spring down and have running 
water, a good garden back of the house and fruit trees set out; also straw- 
berries, etc. Yes, I batch and when it comes to looking "don't take off my 
hat" to any of the old hill billys around here. I keep an old fiddle handy and 
nearly every evening some passer-by, stray cowpuncher, miner, homesteader 
or neighbor, stays over night with me and saws off "the Arkansas traveller" 
or some old rag for entertainment. 

I have a 'phone in the house and go to town whenever called (10 miles) on 
bike if weather permits, or if not a horseback. In town (about 350 people) 
I have a little office 8' x 42" and bed room, partitioned off (a "bowling alley 
office" Ros Koch called it). I am the only attorney here and get the usual 
run of law office work, — conveyancing, making contracts, wills, etc., also 
considerable land office work and adjudicating irrigating water rig-hts. I'm 
attorney for the Town Council; on the Elkshead School Board; help out 
on the courses in Commercial Law ; History and English at the Hayden High 
School ; some heavy man in local talent plays at the Town Hall ; was Repub- 
lican Precinct Committeeeman for two years, so you can get a line on how it 
goes. Twice a year we have a session of the District Court at Steamboat 

80 



Springs, our County Seat and I go up and scrap with the other attorneys 
and "harangue the joorays" and get generally worked up ; when that's over I 
return, pay up a pile of accumulated bills, buy a meal ticket ahead and start 
in the old ruts all over again. You get to know folks so well in a community 
like this that it's just like one big family living in many separate houses and 
ranches. We have hell in three volumes over our mutual telephone lines, over 
the railroad right of way (railroad just built in here last year) ; over our new 
Town waterworks ; over the coal miners strike at Oak Creek ; over taxes ; 
over school elections, horse stealing, bounties for wolf scalps, U. S. land 
office injustices and delays, Government corners and surveys and so on ad 
infinitum. 

Promoters, politicians, preacher, professors, magicians, musicians, reform- 
ers and many others occupy the rostrum in our Town Hall; we have boos- 
ters clubs, cattlemen's associations, tax payers leagues, county fair corporations 
a half dozen lodges and societies, a Town Brass Band, a 'baseball team, volun- 
teer fire brigade, boy scouts and what-not, for expressing our social asipira- 
tions. All coming or going, prospering or dying with the community's 
interest therein or lack thereof. 

In other words, it's just life in a small country burg and very close to being 
a real democracy — except up at the hotel there isn't a hired girl in town — 
every one does their own work and "the butcher, baker and candlestick- 
maker" are not only your friends and neighbors, but we're all inter-dependent 
for our living. 

Josh, it's some different from what I've heard haled as "democracy" at 
Princeton. I hope to live to see the day when Woodrow's spirit like John 
Brown's soul'll go marching on and level off a few of the artificial social 
inequalities and barriers of that place. 

Well, so long. Josh, I reckon I'd better roll in as it's getting late, everyone 
in town has long ago turned in and the coyotes and town dogs are now in sole 
possession and having their usual nightly duet. Tell any of the fellows going 
West to the "exposish" next year, if they have time to drop off at Denver, 
take the Denver and Salt Lake R. R., 280 miles northwest over the Conti- 
nental Divide and drop into Raitt County, "the great undeveloped empire 
of the West, etc.," and see their old friend. 

Skinny Carpenter.

San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 9, 1914. 
Listen here, Cooley, come to think of it, this autobiographical bit which 
you are endeavoring to elicit from each 'oger, to be eagerly (?) devoured by 
his Fellow Fifth-Yearers, is all to the difficult and irksome. What's to say, 
worthy "sec"? I haven't posed for the "R.G." yet, not a gendarme in the 
whole U. S. knows my middle name, very few people know who or why I 
am, so who's interested, and what's the answer? I might wax Chambersish 
and Horatio Alger-like, and relate how, bit by fcit, also rung by rung, I was 
climbing the ladder of success, when suddenly someone stole a rung, and 

goflooey ! ! on the turf ! Or, again, I might dilate on my stirring encounter 

with the Demon Adversity, wherein I handed it a swift and sudden swipe on 
the fetlock, and now repose serenely in an upholstered Morris chair, languid- 
ly counting the shekels as they are borne tinkling in by my second man, Basil ! 
But "such ain't so" and the simple facts are these (since my graduation 
five years ago). A year of cub reporting on the New York Sun, two years 
of dabbling in advertising with small agencies in Newark and New York, 
and then in August, 1912, I joined the Frank Presbrey Co., and assisted in 
handling the advertising account of the American Tobacco Company. A 
year more and I was suddenly shifted from the Atlantic to the Pacific, to 
take charge of the San Francisco Branch of the Frank Presbrey Company 
and handle the account of the Tobacco Company of California, and here I be, 
indefinitely. And there you have the full dope. Absorbing, isn't it! 

This "I" stuff doesn't appeal to me an awful lot, Josh, but your word is 
law ! I have a bit of a bank account, and I'm not married. Also, Princeton 
stock (as far as numbers are concerned) here in San Francisco is 'way below 
par, and due to lack of Orange and Black cohorts, I can't seem to stir up 
much "enthuse" for Bengal Burg among the natives. Am striving valiantly, 
however, to steer a couple of eighteen year olds Tigerward next year. 

Lack of Princeton and the folks are the only drawbacks out here. The 
climate is proverbially ideal, the people as a type are "there," and Fve made 
some loyal and lasting friendships. Tell all the classmates that San Francisco

should be their Mecca next year, because we're going to put over an "Expo" 
here that will make Chicago, Buffalo, St. Louis, et al look like County Fairs. 
This is straight from the shoulder, Josh, so "come West, young man, come 
West" and bring the gang with you ! You'll find open house at the Hotel 
Cornell, 715 Bush Street, so brush off your tootsies on the welcome mat,

what's what, and what's going to be here next year. You Easterners have no 
idea of the magnitude and magnificence of the stunt, so come and be 
convinced. 

I wish you'd make it a point. Josh, to give my heartiest to one and all the 
Fifth-Yearers you see and write to. My opportunities for so doing are 
naturally limited, exiled as I am so far from the field of action, or at least, 
centre of interest. Only because you request it, I'm sending you a photo of 
"me" taken last summer at Los Altos, Cal., about 35 miles from here. 

Best to you and all 'ogers. 

Always,

Beacon, N. Y., Oct. 15, 1914. 
Dear "Oughty Miners" : 

Feeling that every man ought to write for the Record, I am falling into 
line. I entered Princeton Theological Seminary in 1909 and graduated in 
1912. During this period, I did my M.A. work in the college. My first Pas- 
toral experience was gained in South Dakota in the summer of 1910, and my 
second as a substitute for the pastor in the church of which I am now 
Pastor, during the summer of 191 1. I was ordained to the Ministry and in- 
stalled as Pastor of this church on June 5, 1912. All of the above kept me 
from Reunions but I shall do better in the future. Since I arrived here 
Harry Thaw has departed and we have changed our name from Matteawan 
to Beacon. I am located in a beautiful part of the Hudson River Valley, 

84 



fifty-eight miles from Xew York, ten miles above West Point and on the east 
shore opposite Newburgh. I am enjoying iny life work and realizing my debt 
to Princeton and 1909. I am one of the few ministers of our class. I find the 
work is not only a man's job, but a busy life which I can serve my Lord and 
my fellowmen. My parents live with me in the manse and we should be glad to 
see any of you who come this way. 

My very best wishes go out to all the class as they receive this Fifth Year 
Record. 

Sincerely yours, 

Wallace H. Carver.

Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 29, 1914. 
My dear Josh : 

I am sending 3-ou under separate cover a photograph 01 myself at work, 
and have no doubt upon this point please, for actually I have had a couple 
of clients during the past year. 

After finishing Law School in 1912, I went abroad for the summer then 
came out here to the center of population of United States. Somewhere, I 
had seen a picture with strings running to Indianapolis from every point of 
the United States, meant to show, I suppose, that this being the center of 
population, everybody was bound to get to Indianapolis sooner or later. 
Thinking that perhaps I could see as many of my friends here as anywhere, 
and that I might get hold of the business end of one of said strings, 
I settled down to start practice in a law office. I found it so lonesome, how- 
ever, that March 24, 1913, I induced Mrs. Cass to come out and share my joys 
and sorrows with me, and since then have found life in Indianapolis very 
pleasant indeed. 

The next event of importance came along about mid-summer wdien Josh 
Brush burst in upon me one day, and we had a most enjoyable time talking 

8S 



over most of the fellows in the class and wound up the day by having 
our pictures taken supposedly for this book. "Too many pictures Squire" 
you'll say, but honestly Josh urged me. 

On Feb. 2, 1914, I opened a little office of my own at 835 and 836 Lemcke 
Building, and ever since have been struggling to make the fact become recog- 
nized that I am a regular attorney, but somehow people don't seem disposed to 
take kindly to the idea, so I'm still struggling. However, I have had some 
interesting cases, one of which was the following: A gentleman of color 
had been run over by an Interurban car having dozed off while sitting on 
one of the rails, and hunt as they would, not all of his parts could be located 
anywhere in the surrounding country. What pieces were found were thrown 
into a box and turned over to an undertaker, who was also one of Africa's 
choicest. In order to avoid trouble the Interurban Company agreed to pay 
the funeral expenses. The items of expense presented by George Washington 
Jefferson Adams, the Undertaker included an item of $6.00 for embalming. 
The Company could not understand just why this particular item should be 
paid as it appeared the middle section of the deceased had never been found 
and retained me to fight the case. At the trial the Undertaker was questioned 
by me regarding the disputed charge and he explained, "Ah jest didn't mean 
embamin' sah. Ah applies dat term toassemblin de pahts." His explanation 
was accepted at par by the judge and I lost my first case. 

I extend an earnest invitation to every man in the class to visit me whenever 
they may be in Indianapolis. 

Yours as ever, 

Newton R. Cass.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 21, 1914. 
Dear Josh: 

There hasn't been an '09 man in Cincinnati since your suitcase disappeared 
while standing in front of . Tell them to drop around. Our represen- 
tation at the Western Alumni Association Meeting in Cleveland could almost 
have been counted on one hand, "Squire" Cass, "Harry Dick" and "Bob" 
Lupfer, having been among those present. Cincinnati men are being sent 
to Princeton for the benefit of both places by a very vigorous small Alumni 
Association in this city and we are to enjoy the Triangle Club this Xmas 
night for the second time in two years. Mr. Cooper Procter has drawn 
Princeton attention to Cincinnati by his gift of a very handsome graduate 
college, but '09 hasn't had a reunion here of even two since "the memory of 
man runneth not to the contrary." Main 917 during the day and Park 748-R 
after 6.30 p. m. Let's see if it pays to advertise in your book, Josh. 

My affairs since my last letter have progressed without event. I passed my 
bar exams December, 1912, after graduating from Harvard Law School that 
spring, January, 1913. June, 1914, I was employed in the offices of Waite & 
Schindel, a firm of attorneys in this city and June, 1914, I left them to begin 
practice on my own account in offices with my father, Charles M. Cist, who 
has also practiced in Cincinnati all his life. In October, 1912, I enlisted for 
three years in Troop C, ist Ohio Cav. O.N.G., and have been recently elect- 
ed to a corporalcy. About a month ago I had the honor of taking fifth place 
in a state militia rifle competition at Camp Perry, Ohio. 

I want to put a word before the Class with regard to the wholesale aboli' 
tion of undergraduate customs. The glamour and romance of college life, 
which grows stronger I believe as we leave it farther behind and plunge 
deeper into the colder element of life and business, is very considerably 
nourished and rooted in these picturesque customs. I would not take a good 
deal for my recollections of "Senior P-rade" and "Horsing." It seems un- 
questionable to me, however, much the idea may be disliked in certain quar- 
ters, that University life of to-day partakes considerably of the nature of a 
Club. This is that which makes it possible to say of a college. "It has a 
splendid reputation, fine teaching staff, etc., but my son shall go elsewhere 
because of its poor spirit." In addition to the dry bones of academic study, 
there exist the elements of flesh and blood activity and my plea is that these 
may not be stripped from the scholastic skeleton altogether. I believe that 
our customs are worth much, that they are worth so much that for the sake 
of keeping them the price of a strict discipline to prevent their abuse should 
be paid, rather than that they should be done away with altogether. 

In closing, I wish to congratulate myself along with the rest of the Class, 
on our class vitality, unity and energy largely inspired by excellent leadership. 
I am proud of membership in so fine a body and send it my best wishes 
individually and collectively. 

Best regards to yourself, Josh, 

As ever, 

Frank Cist '09.

Dear Josh : 

I am very anxious to get my name prominently in the Year Book, so I 
hasten to comply with your suggestion and write you a letter, which I under- 
stand you agree will appear therein. 

My most noteworthy achievement for the class and for Princeton during 
the past five years has been to install a flourishing younger brother in the 
Class of 1918, in spite of the violent opposition of President Hihben, Regis- 
trar Jones and General Hoskins who so bravely command the defenses of 
old Nassau against the oncoming hordes of barbarous youths whose chief 
fault lies in their firm impression that Princeton is the best place to go for an 
education. 

The class has done better by me. Thanks to the originality of its very 
efficient Secretary, I, as the nine of clubs, got away with a prize for the third 
most original costume at a masked ball this Summer. H the prize had been 
valuable, I would have sent it to you Josh. No, I won't tell you what it was. 
Believe me. 

Very sincerely yours, 

John Holley Clark, Jr.

Los Angeles, Cal. 
-My dear Brush : 

The invitation to the February Dinner came this morning. Three thousand 
miles, Woodrow's tariff (in which, nevertheless, I heartily believe), the heart- 
less custom of the railroads of this country of charging vmoffending travel- 
ers for transportation, and various and sundry other matters compelled me 
to write a regretful "no" on the card. I'm afraid you'll think I've forgotten 
how to write anything else, including a letter to the Class Secretary or even 
a card in reply to the very-much-appreciated one from him this fall. It is 
true I have sunk pretty low, but I think the reform movement has set in and 
in the future I trust I shall have courtesy enough to answer your communica- 
tions, at least. 

I suppose you want some "biographical notes," judging from the frantic 
appeals I sometimes see in the Weekly. I think I sent you an announcement 
of my marriage last June to Miss Muriel G. Stewart, of Berkeley, California. 
That was the most important event of my career, so far. A few minor 



details might be added. Last year I taught in Occidental College as instruc- 
tor in History and Economics. This year I have been acting as Associate 
Prof. (I came near abbreviating that first word after the first syllable as I 
did the Prof., but it didn't sound just right). On Nov. 29th I read a paper 
on the "iRelation of Slavery to the Annexation of California" (highly edify- 
ing, I assure you) before the Pacific Coast Branch of the American Historical 
Association. Afterwards I was elected a member of the Advisory Council 
of the Society. 

If the ancestors of the present students of Columbia blew their horns as 
loudly as I've just been blowing mine, I can easily understand why the 
walls of Jericho fell down (see Joshua VI, or Luke Miller). 

Sincerely yours, 

Robert G. Clel-a.nd.

Dear "Josh" : 

Your card came yesterday and was read with much pleasure. Please 
pardon my neglect to communicate oftener, but it is due entirely to a choice 
fault of mine. Nothing would give me more pleasure than to see you at 
Reunions, but unfortunately the number of clients is small who are anxiously 
waiting at my door "thirsting for justice." 

The Princeton Club here is planning a meeting for Saturday afternoon to 
hear reports of the Yale game and if the result is as hoped for, we'll indulge 
in a modest celebration the echoes from which may possibly resound across 
the Rockies to New York. 

With kindest regards, 

Sincerely, 

V. S. Cobb.

Dear Josh : 

As to what I have been doing since leaving Princeton, I can briefly sum- 
marize as follows : 

Very shortly after graduation I sailed for Europe. After spending the 
summer in England I returned in October and obtained a position in H. J. 
Heinz Company's main office at Pittsburgh, Pa., where I stayed for about 
two years. In the summer of 191 1 I came to New York and obtained a posi- 
tion in the Financial Department of J. G. White & Company, Inc., Engineers 
and Contractors, where I am still located. 

This is about all.

Wishing you all success in your work with the Record and expressing, 
through you, my regards to all the Class, I am, 

Very sincerely yours,

10 Oxford Street, Cambridge, Mass., Feb. 15, 1915. 
Dear Josh: 

I saw Ed. Annin in Boston last night and found that he, too, hadn't yet 
written his letter for the Fifth Year Book. My delinquency, consequently, 
didn't look so bad. 

I don't think you will find the story of my life during the past five years 
very thrilling. School teachers, as a rule, are circumscribed in activity, the 
walls of the classroom and dormitory enclosing all their little world. But 
I haven't found my work uninteresting or uninspiring. Far from it. A 
constant demand is made not only on one's intellectual supply but also on 
one's ingenuity in meeting the various phases of boy life. The situations, 
some humorous, some serious, that arise in our work are many and multiform. 
One has to be constantly alert or he becomes "easy.'' But in return, and a 
rich return it is too, you get an opportunity of penetrating that curiously reti- 
cent boy nature that more than compensates for any possible unpleasantness. 
Then, here is the fact of your responsibility for the boy's future, a serious, 
sometimes disquieting fact. But enough of this; it may sound too macli 
like shop. 

The first four years after graduating, I was English instructor at the 
Kingsley School, Essex Fells, New Jersey. The school, though small, is very 
efficient, and is fortunate in having as headmaster one of the finest men it 
was ever my good fortune to know. While at Kingsley, I did all I could to 
direct boys to Princeton. Walter Hammond, an end on Eddie Hart's 191 1 
team, was a Kingsley boy. Last year, 1913-14, I substituted for Oscar McPher- 
son, Princeton '06, in the English department at Lawrenceville. It was a 
very enjoyable and profitable year, both from the proximity of the school 
to Princeton and from my acquaintance with Dr. McPherson and his men. 
The present year 1914-15 is being spent in the Harvard graduate school, 
department of English, imder such men as Bliss Perry, Professor Baker, Dr. 

96 



Greenough, and Professor Copeland, with ample opportunity of listening 
to Keeno Francke, Hugo Milnsterberg, Dr. Royce, Dean Briggs and so on. 
Next year I shall resume teaching. 

My summers have been passed with George Carlton Shafer '03 in his 
summer camp for boys in northern Pennsylvania. 

I am still a 'bachelor, with no other prospects. My efforts, I imagine, will 
have to be toward sending other men's sons to Princeton. 

It's a curious fact, but as time goes on, Princeton and the happy years spent 
there seem to draw nearer rather than pass into the great realm of distant, 
half-forgotten things. Those years acquire a new significance from the 
perspective of time, and the light of their influence glows always brighter 
and warmer. 

Yours in 1909 and Princeton, 

Henry Simpson Couse.

Dear Josh : 

A recent notice in the Alumni Weekly to the effect that Class statistics were 
due April iSth, reminded me that I had not yet done my duty in that direc- 
tion. For the last three years I have been "on the road" so much that 
many such matters had escaped proper attention. 

At this writing I am planning to "settle down" — in a geographical sense 
only, and not into that more fortunate state of blessedness into which so many 
of our brethren have entered. In other words, I have just signed the papers 
establishing a partnership between two other gentlemen and myself in the 
formation of a company for the marketing of a product to be known as 
Titan Metal or Titan Bronze, a new alloy made by a secret and recently 
discovered process. The outlook is bright and our hopes are high. 

In the course of late travels, through the entire eastern section of the 
country — from the Mississippi to the Atlantic, from the the Great Lakes to the 
Gulf, it has been my pleasure to meet with quite a number of ought-niners 
as well as men from other classes. To all such and to these whom I hadn't 
seen for years — Greetings and Salutations ! To yourself, congratulations on 
the new position. 

Sincerely yours in 'oQ^and in 191 5, 

"Tom" Craven.

5 — Joe Salsbury waits patiently for the photographer.

But that letter certainly did scare me off, and now, of course, it's too late. 
However, I guess the class album will have "the class" without my black- 
smithsonian attempt at an epistle. 

Good by, old top, I'll see you on the "big night." 

As ever yours, 

Floyd.

Dear Josh : 

I have failed to write you before this, not because I did not wish to comply 
with your request for a letter for the class record, but because, as I imagine 
many others have discovered for themselves, it is difficult to determine upon 
the manner and the matter of the writing. 

With regard to the manner, we feel that we are growing a little too old 
perhaps to write you in the old flippant vein, but on the other hand we feel 
that we are yet too young to send you epistles in the Ciceronian style. 

With regard to the matter, while we will tell you that we are still ambitious, 
it is with an ambition far removed in its expression from that of our child- 
hood when we were wont on festive occasions to rush through the drawing 
room to the amazement of the assembled relatives announcing at the top of 
our six year old lungs our fixed intentions of becoming firemen, sailors or 
soldiers at the earliest possible moment come what would — an ambition more 
keen and quiet even than when we left Princeton that sunny June six years 
ago. For I think we all know more about God and men and things in general 
than we did then, and knowing more we hope to do more and bigger and 
better things. 

But we don't like to talk about it. For we all feel that we have only just 
begun and nothing worth mentioning has been done yet while there is so much 
ahead to be done that the less we say and the more we do the better it will 
be said and done. 

We don't like to talk about it. I'or even if we may in the future succeed — 
succeed far and beyond our furthest hope — well, it will have been worth 

100 



while, well worth while to ourselves and to those friends who believed in us 
right straight along through thick and thin, worth while to those people 
dead and living and to live for whom we worked — but after all we shall 
have done only what each of us should have done . . . and all the clocks in 
Christendom will not be stopped by the shock of our success either. 

Wh}' then talk — before we have even succeeded ? 

And so you see, Josh, our difficulty in complying with your apparently 
simple request to write letters all about ourselves is, in presidential parlance, 
som.ewhat, if not purely — psychological. 

For myself, — I have been practicing law since our triennial and have found 
it verv interesting and — what you laymen never suspect — keenly exciting. It 
is full too of what the dramatists call "human interest" and of what we 
all call human nature. 

The judges and juries are men you know. And even those "dry as dust" 
cases in the "hoary old law books", the very appearance of which sends a 
chill to the heart of the unitiated, are really very interesting records of 
differences of opinion of two or more people, and while both the plaintiff 
and defendant may be dead and buried for many and many a year when their 
story comes to your hands — remember they were "alive and kicking" at the 
time the suit was started, and in all probability at least one of them when 
the decision was rendered. 

But, Josh, I'm afraid I'll take up more than my share of room (if I haven't 
already done so!) if I once begin to talk shop. 

Success to your book and prosperity to the Class. 

As ever, 

Frank L. Cunningham.

Dear Josh : 

For the Fifth Year Book — a very brief recital. An unusually promising 
member of the class of '35 occupies the entire spotlight in our household. 
Some boy — and he lets you know it ! 

At this hour of going to press I'm still hanging on with the Thatcher 
Furnace Company and have joined the popular craze as my job is dancing 
attendance to the President. We are now moving to new offices at 131-137 
West 35th St. and I've got a specially reserved chair in my nook labelled 
"welcome to 'ogers" — and what's more to the point there are some particu- 
larly good luncheries within a couple of biscuit throws. 

I'm now only eating three meals a day while generating an appetite for the 
dinner. The thirteenth will never be more welcome. 

Yours, 

Waring.

Dear Josh : 

Having answered to the best of my knowledge and belief your list of cross 
examining questions, I'll write you a letter, though there is little left to tell. 
It is, I suppose, a valuable asset to be able to stand aside once in a while and 
watch yourself float by in that well known stream of life. These letters offer 
us that opportunity. The trouble is we all try to write them an hour before 
the Tuesday evening Fox Trot class meets, or in an ever increasing number 
of instances, while 'Lizzie or Sarah or Mary, as the case may be, is crooning 
the babies to sleep. Therefore, as in this case, we are apt to write trivialities, 
when we are offered an opportunity to watch our mental attitude change every 
few years, by comparing our successive letters to you. Our trouble is, I think, 
that we very rarely place, what we are pleased to call our mental processes 
out before us and examine them, as the little old bald head man at Tiffany's 
examines the works of the watch you dropped from the balcony in Bustanoby's 
last evening. 

As for me, I've done little enough that's exciting during the last two years, 
except a little would-be reform work among Salamanders ; work which almost 
without exception seems to end in threatened breach of promise suits. Here- 
after I am determined to confine all such endeavors to the Big Brother Move- 
ment. After all, a dirty little boy who has perhaps in a thoughtless moment 
murdered a playmate or burned down a tenement, is far less dangerous than 
an amber-eyed clinging young thing, with a cruel stepmother and a "come- 
hither" expression. 

As for 'business — it has gone well. I'm getting almost too interested in it. 
Sometimes I'm afraid that I'm becoming a business man, at the expense of 
other things just as important, such as the ability to appreciate the music of a 
little brook and the renunciation of all desires and dreams which do not 
directly concern my "getting ahead.'' It sometimes seems easier to give up a 
real ambition than to satisfy it. 

One thing I am sure of. It has been and will continue to be, a great 
pleasure to work with you in your successful efforts to keep our Class a real 
unit — to make every man in it realize something of the other fellow's view- 
point. This faculty I think is one of the reasons for our successful Class 
organization. 

I'm not married yet — mainly because I see lovable things in a multitude of 
people and love a number — the liberty of the inner man most of all. 

The little house at the side of the highway, the rambler roses, the three or 

104 



four tousled-headed kids, all appeal to me mightily. I'm envious. Then I 
wave to them and continue my thoughtful course to nowhere in particular, up 
the road and over the hills. 

We are living in an age when great things are possible, when the liberty and 
opportunity for the individual are greater than ever before. 

One thing" we need — faith ! Given a reasonable amount of faith in ourselves 
— in others, and in what we are doing, plus a fair amount of health and we 
will all make good and incidentally get real enjoyment from this mixture 
of a great deal of rubbish and a little truth, which we call life. 
Very sincerely yours, 

C. Roy Dickinson. 

92 HAROLD EARLY DIETRICH A.B. 

a 124 East 28th Street, 
b c Tientsin, China, Y. M. C. A. 
Teacher in English. 

Born in Harrisburg, Pa., on April 8, 1887. Son of Albert Bailor Dietrich of 
■Chambersburg, Pa., and Ida Emma Early of Swatara, Pa. 

Prepared at Harrisburg High School. Entered Princeton 1905, graduated 
1909' — third group. 

Associate Editor of The Metal Industry, 1910-1913. 1913-1914 Secretary to 
Dr. John R. Mott (General Secretary of Foreign Department of Inter- 
national Y. M. C. A.) At present teaching English in the Pei Yang Law 
College in China, and also doing educational work for the Y. M. C. A. of 
Tientsin, China. 

"Diet" has attended our First, Second, Third and Fourth Reunions. 

Y. M. C. A., Tientsin, China, January 8, 1913. 
Dear Josh : 

I have not yet received the circular letter you sent out asking for infor- 
mation, etc., about each and every one of us for the "Five Years Out" or 
whatever may be the name of our new class book. However, I note your 
frantic appeals in the Alwinii Weekly and hence take the typewriter in hand 
to indite a few lines — or rather I should say a few pages, for it is going to 
take up considerable of your valuable time before you get through perusing 
this "note." 

Teaching English out here is not such a "pipe" as one might imagine. In 
one class you will find fellows that have had two years of it alongside of fel- 
lows that have had five years, consequently you can see what I'm up against. 
However, this fall we got a new president who is a live wire and he has told 
me to go ahead and do things up right so I am cleaning out the deadwood 
now. I'm the first foreign teacher that they have had at this school. Under 
the native teachers English was a joke, the "gut" course of the school. Of 
course, I'm not rough on them, but they are beginning to wake up to the 
fact that a fellow who stays away from class for a month or more at 
a time has a slim chance of getting by the exams. Discipline is the weak point 

lOS 



in the Chinese system of training. They take the attitude of they don't have 
to do anything if they don't want to. When I first came and told them to 
write a composition and bring it to class they thought it was a joke, and it 
took a little time for them to realize that when I said a thing I meant it. 
Now, however, they are beginning to see the value of study and there are but 
few who will not admit that they have learned more in the past four months 
than they did in the two years previous. I have just flunked twenty-five out of 
125, and now that the deadwood is disposed of I expect my four classes to 
make good progress before the end of the year. 

It is a pity that people in America have not had more acquaintance with 
the Chinese of the student class. There is just as much difference between 
the Chinese student and the "washieman" as there is between the American 
college student and the wop that digs the subways. These students are a 
fine bunch of fellows and very easy to get along with. 

Well, old man, if I tried to tell you of all the things I've seen and all the 
things that have happened to me since I last saw you at the Martinique nearly 
a year ago I'd come pretty close to filling up the class book, pro\aded this 
reaches you in time for publication and you do not use the blue pencil too 
freely. 

I journeyed leisurely across the States, making several stop-overs, including 
a short stay at the Grand Canyon. Believe me, that place has it on any other 
place I have ever seen. It was great sport to go down the icy trail, especially 
when the mule would start to slide and only stop about six inches this side 
of a 1500-foot drop. I swore off several times on several things on that trip. 
I can't say that I rave about California, although the southern cities looked 
good to me and Frisco is some live town; also I very much enjoyed the ride up 
the coast. Taking it all in all, we've got some country, and one cannot appre- 
ciate its size, its wealth and its beauty until he has seen it for himself. 

My next stopping place was Honolulu. Six of us hired a machine for the 
day, and if there is any place around there that we did not see it must have 
been planted recently. I'd heartily cast my vote for the theory that Hawaii 
was the spot on which the Garden of Eden was located, except for the fact 
that they say there are no snakes on the Islands. Let me give the coming 
benedicts a tip — ^Honolulu is a regular dream of a place for a wedding trip. 

I almost forgot to say that when I got on the boat at San Francisco I found 
that Van Dusen '07 was also making the trip out here, going to Tsingtau. 
Poor Van had to beat it when the seige started. Last week I had a letter 
from him stating that he had gone back and had found his house looted, 
practically everything having been taken. I sure am sorry for him as he is 
a good fellow and we had many a pleasant chat on board. 

Dances, movies and a daily paper kept us out of mischief until we struck 
bad weather, five typhoons in a row. Luckily we were on the outer edge of 
all of them, being south of the storm center. Yours truly was one of twelve 
on board who did not give up the ghost. Let me tell you that if some fellow 
would invent a roller coaster for Coney Island that had all the dips and turns 
that we got on the old boat he would make his fortune in one season. 

At last we reached that fairy land — Japan. However, instead of cherry 

106 



blossoms we were greeted with a snowstorm. I was eight days in that land 
and must say that it is a great place for an artist or a tourist. Every thing is 
so neat, clean and picturesque, but, oh, on such a small scale. The railroads 
are narrow gauge, and Fat Wagner never could get through some of the 
streets or into some of the houses. The whole country is laid out in this 
small way because land is valuable as the country is over populated. And 
conditions never will get better until they get civilized and stop having forty- 
nine children each to burn incense on the family altar. The Jap at home is 
a most delightful chap, so polite, aimiable and anxious to do what he can to 
help a fellow along. The trouble with them when they get away from home 
is that then they carry a chip on their shoulders and must always thrust the 
fact before one that they come from Dai Nippon — meaning Great Japan. 
Because England is known as Great Britain, the dignity of their little land 
demands that they also have a Great in front of its name. "Really it's scream- 
ingly funny," as our Hinglish friends say. 

After this I spent four days in Korea, mostly in Seoul, which is a very 
interesting old Oriental city. Korea is a land of mountains, there are so many 
of them that one wonders that there were any left to distribute over the rest 
of the world. Also it is a very poor country, but under the efficient admin- 
istration of the Japs, who are reforesting and endeavoring to conserve the 
resources of the country, conditions ought to improve. However, it is doubt- 
ful if the Koreans will benefit as the government quickly seizes anything 
that proves to be of value. 

Crossing the broad plains of Manchuria one could almost have sworn that 
he was in Missouri of Kansas. It sure was a relief to get away from the 
twenty-foot-square "farms" of Japan and Korea and see a real live-sized 
field. That land is splendid farming country. I dropped off to see Moukden, 
the ancient capital with its temples, palaces and royal tombs ; also made a 
trip out to the battlefield, where ten years ago the power of Russia was 
broken. 

Another day on the train and I passed through an opening in the Great Wall 
and was in China proper, or the Middle Kingdom as it is called. It is an 
impressive sight to view the Great Wall. One can see it for miles, first from 
the shore across the level country, then it climbs the mountain ridges, up and 
down almost impossible clefts and gorges. It looms up against the sky in 
great shape, with its tall towers at short intervals, too proud to fall. There 
they stand just as when they were built over 2000 years ago. 

The following morning I reached Tientsin, the most modern city in China. 
A fellow hardly expects to find paved streets, electric lights, telephones, 
automobiles, "trams" (out here we have to learn two languages — ^Chinese 
and Hinglish), four-story buildings and traffic cops, to say nothing of parks, 
band concerts, theatricals and grand opera. I sure was some surprised lad 
almost thought I had been transplanted back to the U. S. A. over night. 

Tientsin is a city of over 800,000, and is divided into two parts ; the foreign 
concessions (tracts of land seized by the European nations in 1900) and the 
native city. It is the main port of the North and is a great railroad center. 
Also it is the administrative center for the metropolitan province, and the 

107 



education center of North China, there being over 20.000 students in the city. 
There are four rivers and four canals within the city limits, w^hich still 
carry considerable commerce. In area the city is about the size of Manhattan. 

I have made some side trips since arriving, including two trips to Peking, 
which I consider the prize city of the East. It is much more Oriental as it 
has not come so much under foreign influence, and its walls, palaces and 
temples are wonderful. I had the luck to get into the Temple of Heaven and 
the Forbidden City, both of which are prize packages from the point of 
interest. 

The first week in July I went camping with a bunch of boys at Tsangchou, 
a city on the Grand Canal about 100 miles south of here. We saw some 
sights on the canal, and altogether had a splendid week. 

Then I spent six weeks at the summer resort Peitaiho on the seashore. 
It is not often that one gets the combination of the seashore and the moun- 
tains. It is entirely a foreign community and there were about one thousand 
persons there, mostly young folks. Parties, picnics, bathing and trips kept us 
on the go. It was one of the best summers I have had for a long time. 
I had two fine side trips. The first was a mountain climb to a Taoist temple 
on a peak about thirty miles away. At one place we had to climb a swinging 
ladder, then over a projecting rock, just like going over the cornice of a 
building. I can tell you it was ticklish work. 

The second trip was a trip to Port Arthur. We started to go across the 
gulf in a thirty-foot weather-beaten, moth-eaten Chinese junk. There were 
ten of us including Hoagland '07 and Howell '13. A few hours out we 
struck a squall and one after another began to feed the fishes. Again it 
turned out that I was the only one who was watertight. Some sailor, er, what ! 
The following day we reached land and found that we were further from 
our destination than when we started. Seven of us decided to hoof it 
thirty miles aross the country to the railroad and thence to P. A., while the 
other three took the boat back home. We had some experiences that would 
make the prodigal son think that his pigsty was a royal palace. I'm not 
kidding you, just imagine the bunch of us sleeping in a courtyard along with 
the mules, geese, chickens, dogs and pigs. Our downy couches consisted of 
two-inch planks with the hard side turned up. Then we had 'breakfast in a 
Manchu inn (with the village inhabitants crowding the doorway to see the 
show). We had cantaloupes, rolls, scrambled eggs and tea all for the munifi- 
cient sum of two cents each. We saw a number of dwarfs and passed through 
two villages where the people had never seen a foreigner. There is no doubt 
of it but that Harry Trimble or Herb Morrow could have been kings of 
those villages, judging by the way they kotowed to the bricktop of our party. 
Well, at last we reached our destination and took in all the sights, and believe 
me from the looks of that section of the country the further I can keep away 
from the "Black Marias" the better it will suit me. Even after ten years the 
hills around Port Arthur look as if a Panama Canal steam shovel had been 
operating for some time. We made the trip back home by rail, riding most 
of the way in the baggage car. 

There is quite a lot of social life going on here in Tientsin, and boating, 
skating and ice-boating are favorite sports in season. There are 1200 

108 



American soldiers stationed in Tientsin and last summer they had a six-team 
baseball league. They put up some pretty good games too. I can tell you it 
seemed like home to hear the umpire say "strike tuh." During the winter 
there is a basketball league. 

The foreign community here numbers slightly over four thousand, plus 
about three thousand, soldiers. In November the Annual Dinner of the 
American College Club was held at the Astor House, there being 147 present. 
(I hope you beat this at the '09 dinner.) It is almost superfluous to add that 
we had the usual good time that college fellows have when they get together. 

Well, old man, it strikes me that perhaps I had better get off the track 
and give someone else a chance. Give my regards to all the boys and take 
one for me at the '09 dinner in February. 

With best wishes, 

Sincerely yours, 

Diet.

Beirut, Syria, April 5, 1915. 
Dear Classmates : 

Those of us who live far away from home find it very difficult to keep in 
touch with the Class of 1909 and hardly know where to begin in telling about 
our experiences, since leaving College. During the year after graduation I had 
a splendid trip around the world with my brother and a friend and then 
settled down to study for three years at Union Seminary and Columbia Uni-

versity. Those years were full of interest and enjoyment, and proved to be 
a very valuable preparation for work in a foreign land. In addition to study- 
ing I spent a good deal of time in social settlement and mission church work 
in New York City, especially in connection with the Church of the Sea and 
Land, down on the corner of Henry and Market Streets, in one of the poorest 
sections of New York. 

During Senior year at the Seminary I became engaged to Mary Bliss, who 
had been studying in America for a good many years, although her home was 
in Beirut, Syria. By an amusing coincidence I was called to work in the 
Syrian Protestant College at Beirut and I accepted the position, before the 
President of the College knew of my desire to marry his daughter. Needless 
to say all ended happily and a year and a half ago I started work at Beirut, 
After six months in my new position my wife and I were married and 
settled down in the upper story of an attractive little Syrian house, near 
to the College campus. Beirut is one of the most beautiful places in the world 
and a delightful spot in winter time, so that we enjoy our life at the College 
very much. Last summer we staid up in a picturesque little village on Mt. 
Lebanon, half way between the sea and the ancient cedar grove, where the 
King of Tyre procured the timber for Solomon's Temple. The life of 
Lebanon is almost as it was centuries ago and the people are so simple and 
attractive that it is most interesting to be able to live amongst them. If 
all goes well this summer, we expect to stay at another village, higher up 
in the mountains, where the College maintains a summer school, for students 
from very distant lands and for boys who need special preparation in English. 

The Syrian Protestant College is a remarkable force for the enlightening 
of the Levant and an institution which would be respected anywhere in the 
world. It is situated on a low hillside, overlooking the beautiful harbor of 
Beirut and facing a snow mountain, 8,000 feet high. Nearly twenty fine build- 
ings and other smaller ones stretch along the side of the Mediterranean, with 
the bright red tiles of their roofs mingling beautifully with the blue sea and 
the foliage of the campus. The management is in the hands of about eighteen 
American professors and doctors and three British specialists in different kinds 
of medicine. There are also about twenty instructors, over half of whom are 
American and half a dozen permanent professors, chosen from men who have 
graduated from the College. The students are a very interesting and cos- 
mopolitan group of men, coming from Egypt, Persia, Palestine, Syria, 
Armenia, Greece, Northern Turkey and even from places further off. They 
are first placed in a preparatory department, which ordinarily numbers nearly 
four hundred, unless they have passed examinations for college entrance. 
Then they either enter the ordinary B.A. course, or else they specialize for 
the work of the Medical, Commerce, Normal, or Engineering departments. 
All of the technical instruction is in English, which is the regular language 
of the College. The very small boys, who come to study, are placed in a 
Junior Department, where they are required to take Boy Scout work, which 
is rather distasteful, but especially helpful for the ordinary oriental boy. 
The most advanced department of the College is the Medical School, which 
includes a good school in dentistry and another department of pharmacy. The 



College maintains three splendid hospitals and a Nurses' Training School and 
the students also help in a large German hospital near to the campus. All 
over the Near East and especially in the service of the government in the 
Soudan, our graduates are starting pharmacies, carrying on medical work 
and proving to be a great blessing to their people. Many high officials have 
sent their sons to the College, which is looked upon as unique and of funda- 
mental importance by all the Syrians. 

-My work is chiefly to manage a very useful and delightful building, which 
really takes the place of the clubs and of Murray-Dodge Hall at Princeton. 
It is very large with all sorts of games, such as billiards and bowling, with 
large reading rooms, a restaurant, hotel accommodations for graduates, audi- 
toriums, a skating rink and gymnasium accommodation included in it. I 
am more or less responsible for the entertainment of the students and also 
for the success of the student Y. M. C. A. The athletic life of the College is 
iiourishing and there are good teams belonging to the various departments, 
which compete in football, field hockey, basketball and all sorts of track events. 
Every year we have a field day, when the men do very creditable work and 
which is attended by a large crowd of influential people and officials from the 
city. Although the religious position of the College is so progressive that it 
has sometimes been considered a purely secular, rather than a missionary 
institution, this idea is totally false. The basis of all our College work is to 
inspire men with a very sane and up-to-date religious point of view and to 
fill them with the desire for service and usefulness to their own people. 
We have many religious meetings and classes, to which the students are re- 
quired to go and in connection with the Y. M. C. A. we are teaching men 
how to do social service work. This year a large number of men have helped 
in giving relief to the poor of the city, through the local chapter of the 
Red Cross Society, which has taken a great deal of our time and energy. 

On account of the war and lack of money, only about seven hundred stu- 
dents have come to College this year and some of that number have had to 
go home, but the ordinary attendance is between 900 and 1000. It is no 
wonder that I find work in such an institution invigorating and interesting 
and that life in Beirut is full of happiness. During the past month a daughter, 
whom we have named Grace Dodge, has come into our home, to make life 
even fuller of joy than it was before. She is fat and well and a continual 
source of delight, especially during these hard times, when there is an ever 
increasing poverty and sadness coming over the city. If any members of 
Class ever come out to this country, I hope that they will surely write to me 
and arrange to spend a few days in Beirut. 

Very sincerely. 

Bayard Dodge.

Nacozari, Son., Mex., Nov. 7, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

All reports from members of our own class and from outsiders seem to 
agree that our reunion last June was the big event of Commencement and the 
more I hear about it, the sorrier I am to have missed it. Your letter also 
asks for an account of my doings since leaving college." After travelling 
for a good many months I settled for nearly two years at Bisbee, Arizona, 
and worked at all kinds of jobs in the Copper Queen Mines there. Most of 
the time was spent with a muckstick or a geological pick. The next year 
was put in at the mining camps of Morenci and Globe, Arizona, besides a 
short trip to Panama. Since then I have divided my time between a coal camp 
at Dawson, New Mexico, and Nacozari, Mexico, where our company has 
a copper mine and ranch. 'Living the life of a vaquero on the ranch is pretty 
fine and learning to throw the reata is as good and hard a sport as I have 
come across. 

Last winter I went out to Beirut to see that my brother was thoroughly 
married and on the way home returned through Asia Minor, stopping for a 
couple of days at Sardes. There are no '09 men connected with the archae- 
ological expedition there, but we were given a very warm welcome by Ted 
Stoever '08 and other Princeton fellows. The work is one in which every 
Princeton man should justly take a lot of pride, both in the way it has been 
handled and in what has been discovered. The ruin of the large Ionian 
temple is a wonder and beautifully situated at the edge of the Truolus moun- 
tains on the little river Pactolus, where Croesus washed for gold. The 
temple was built on the foundations of an older Lydian temple and valuable 
relics and inscriptions of the once rich iLydian kingdom have been unearthed 
in it and in some tombs. Professor Butler and others have written so much 
about the place that I will not describe it further here, but hope that others 
in the class will have the opportunity of seeing it for themselves. 
Best luck to you and to every member of the class. 
Very sincerely yours, 

Cleve Dodge.

Homewood, E. E,. October 14, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

" In keeping with your suggestion, that a good breezy letter be sent for Class 
Record without reserve, I am penning you for the class keeping my small life 
to date from our Triennial. 

It is interesting to know just what the big world has been doing to all 
of us. "Where oh where are the grave old seniors? Safe now in the wide, 
wide world." The cry of the world is safety first, but that word in the old 
song, which now sounds like distantly, diminishing chants, has a big meaning 
for us all. Could we but have the feelings and think the thoughts of every 
member since graduation, the heart would burst and mind die from too much 
everything. 

Well, I thought 'till June, 1913. Met a man one day at the shore, a gruff 
business man with no isms, ologies and osiphies in his system, but those 
of hard business experience. I was full of thought action and he, just 
plain action. He put me in a different field, took from me my osiphies and 
isms and tried to replace them by hard actual experience, and did too. So 
Josh, old scout, I have become weaned from always dotting my i's and 
crossing my t's and have come to feel that life is lived, rather than thought. 
The latter comes with the former. 

Be I wrong or right, is a question. Every fence has two sides, as the New 
England farmer said after the battle of Bunker Hill. But the modern world 



at any rate wants acts and something for sale and not imperial godheads 
clothed in the royal purple with nothing underneath. On this side I have 
deserted my sanctorum and octavo volumes for the grease of the gear wheel 
and truck, the shop caliper and lathe and all the toil and moil of the so-called 
lower world that makes progress of to-day what it is. 

I have but one fault to find with college education. It makes us see the 
ideal, rather than the real. We wear fine clothes, adorn our houses with 
modern luxury, ride in expensive vehicles, drink endless kinds of beverages, 
see wonderful plays, etc., and yet I'll bet my last cent that ninety per 
cent of the class know little or nothing ahout where any of it comes from. 
The secret lies in the fact that you can see in five minutes as much as you 
can talk about in five hours. There is too much of the bellethistic and 
aesthetic in college which gives a fellow an aloofness and wrong sense of 
value. 

Was a conductor for about three months and developed a little philosophy 
of my own on the back end of a car. Be it resolved, that hobble skirts be 
relegated to hell by order of the claim department. What a godsent creature, 
woman is to us. I feel keenly the need of them in my own life. And yet 
on those cars, you can wish more women into the ninth circle of Dante's 
Inferno in five minutes than Satan could stick with a pitch fork in five 
centuries. The conductor's slogan is "damn the woman" despite the fact 
that they are mostly all married. Maybe that's why, but it's not the whole 
cause. And the more one gets of this kind of life, the less prone one is to 
criticize ; the more one feels that "things are not what they seem" which 
none of us can understand at college. 

Am motoring now, you get your jolts on this end of the car too and get 
in addition a few more philosophies, as many as you could not read about if 
you lived to be as old at Methuselah. 

But enough, Josh. My life is empty now except for work. No money, 
no friends and ostracized by society. But laughter and love come with 
time and are the fresher after the storm clouds pass. 

I am anxious to know just what all our fellows are doing in life and await 
some news through that Record. 

Wanted to get to that Reunion this past spring, but just finished scramb- 
ling out of debt and couldn't do it. If my pocketbook has a jingle to it this 
coming June, I'll be there with bells on and then some. 

My best wishes to every man in the good class of 'og. 

Yours as ever, 

H. Drewes.

Laurie has never missed a Reunion. 

New York, Nov. 22, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

This is a great life, nothing like it, and it grows more absorbing every day. 
I have no doubt that all the doctors in the class agree heartily with my senti- 
ments. So long as one has not yet "hung out his shingle" he is overflowing 
with enthusiasm, after that there is a time in the experience of the majority 
when enthusiasm is somewhat dampened by the ingratitude of the world in not 
recognizing a promising young physician, and he struggles along "from hand to 



mouth." The period of preparation in the medical profession is long, 
from six to seven years, but it has been possible for me to combine football 
coaching, private tutoring and travel with my medical work to great advan- 
tage, especially in a remunerative way, which has helped very appreciably in 
financing the cost of a medical education. 

At present I am an interne at St. Luke's Hospital, N. Y., and my service 
dates from January i, 1914, to January i, 1916. It would be my great pleasure 
to be of service to any member of 1909 or his family, having to enter this 
hospital for treatment. 

The four years of student preparation at P. & S. were spent for the most 
part in the company of Chaplin, Hetzel, Thorburn and McWilliams, in a little 
apartment on West 69th Street, where we used to have our friends dine with 
us from time to time, among them a few other 'ogers. 

Two summers I have spent as a Counsellor at Summer Camps and one at a 
private home in Vermont as a private tutor, all interesting and profitable 
experiences. 

Football still is my greatest delight and has the strongest pull of anything 
outside my profession and I never want to give up active interest in it. Two 
years at Princeton with the Freshmen, two years with Stevens Institute and a 
year with Washington and Lee, that famous old Southern University at 
Lexington, Va., have chained me to the game and whetted my desire for more 
football worlds to conquer. 

In my travels, I have cow-punched with Bob Rockwell, ex-'og in Western 
Colorado, farmed with that versatile ought-niner Milton Matter in Marion, 
Ind., silhouetted around Pittsburgh with that future steel magnate. Ton? 
Gillespie and freshened my alveolar spaces with healthy Ashville, N. C. air, 
in company with those two pedagogues, Don Roberts and Wells Kerr, who by 
the way have been doing a splendid work for Princeton at one of the finest 
preparatory schools on the continent — the Asheville School. [Go'od Heavens ! 
"How about Newark Academy, Laurie?" — Ed.] 

Let me wish in closing that each ought-niner may drink his cup of happi- 
ness full to the brim and attain his full measure of success. 

Faithfully yours, 

(Signed) H. Lawrence Dovvd.

Dear Josh : 

Never having elected the course in Social Service at college I was unable 
to answer all of your questions. That being the case, I suppose it is up to 
me to drop you a line or two. As this is to be published I imagine you want 
some facts in regard to my wild career since leaving College. 

I was married in the fall of 1909, which is some fact, and am now the proud 
possessor of a fine girl, nearly sixteen months old, which is some other fact. 
The first three years after leaving College I spent in studying law at George 
Washington University, where, after much hard work, I managed to get an 
L.L.B. and was equally fortunate in gaining admission to the bar of the 
District of Columbia. The first part of this same period I was also occupied 
in the law office of my brother, G. Thomas Dunlop '92, and the latter part 
in the service of the Union Trust Company of this city. Led on by induce- 
ments of more profitable employment I accepted the position of Secretary of 
the Terminal Taxicab Company of this city in September, 1913, and that's 
what I am doing today. I have not yet risen to the great prominence that 
some of my distinguished classmates have, and probably never will, nor 
have I grown rich and opulent, as some might wish to believe, from my 
present employment. Last spring, not being able to find anyone else upon 
whom they could bestow the burdens of the office, the local Alumni Associa- 
tion made me their Secretary, which gives me an opportunity of doing a 
little in a small way in the interests of Princeton. 

Having run out of any more real facts, I am going to stop. Anybody 
who don't like this letter will have to blame it on Josh. I tried to come back 
at him for the circular he sent me. 

With very best regards, I am as ever. 

Sincerely yours, 

Walter G. Dunlop.

Dear Josh : 

I received your card several days ago, and was again reminded that I have 
kept you waiting quite a while for the full report of my life for the past year. 
You can see by the date on the enclosed list of questions and answers that 
you have not been entirely forgotten, but that I have been having quite a 
time in getting my write-up completed. 

I noticed by your last card that you are familiar with the line of work 

121 



I am following, but I am afraid the letter about a water wheel, which you 
suggested, might be rather dry reading to a person not especially interested 
in that line of work. However, there would be nothing more interesting to 
me and nothing easier to write about. 

As you will learn in reading over the report I am enclosing, I was ad- 
mitted to the Bar of Pennsylvania last July, and immediately following 
my admission decided there were already enough on the job maintaining the 
law and order in this state, and that the learned profession could very well 
get along without my assistance. I therefore withdrew from active practice 
and joined the company with which I am now associated. I find the work 
very interesting and we have been having a mighty fine year notwithstanding 
the big cry about the war. 

In this part of Pennsylvania, Princeton men are about as scarce as gold 
mines. I think the only ones who have lost their way and wandered into 
Hanover have been Tommy Craven, who dropped in about a year ago, and 
Francis Brown '04, who landed here last week on a business trip. Should you, 
or any of the boys happen into these parts, don't forget to look me up, 
for I shall be glad to see you all, and will show you how the best water 
wheel on earth is built. 

I expect to meet you and the rest of the best class ever turned out of 
Princeton at the Big Tent in June, and in the meantime I send kindest regards 
to yourself and classmates. 

Your friend and classmate, 

"Fish" Ehrehart.

Dear Josh : 

For the "Class Book" I am writing just a line about myself, in accordance 
with your request of the other night. 

For four years I worked in the banking business with the United States 
Mortgage & Trust Co. Last May I left there and am now with above tirm, 
selling a few and trying to sell many bonds. 

I am, as you know, entirely unmarried, in fact, I have no dangerous affilia- 
tions at all. I enclose a bum picture of myself, the only one I can find. This 
was taken last fall when I was in Virginia, trying my legs at cross country 
fox hunting. I was a beginner when I started, but a veteran when I finished. 

123 



Over all the first jumps I invariably lost my hat and stirrups, but managed to 
retain my "seat." 

That's about all I have to say, except that I had a fine time at the class 
dinner last Saturday and think it was a great success. 
With regards, believe me. 

Ever very sincerely, 

Jack Faer.

My dear Josh : 

I filed that '09 material for a free hour, but the latter seems to tarry 
endlessly, so FU steal fifteen minutes. I always heard of the lazy South, but 
Hampton is not on that part of the map. Teaching, preaching and a number 
of sidelines, keep a man going at a good pace. But it is all so well worth 
while that it is a joy to be too busy for anything save necessary meals. 

Occasionaly I see some "ought-niners" even in these parts. Imagine my con- 
sternation, one Sunday morning on rising for the sermon, to behold Al Olcott 
in pew number five ; also imagine his !

My life is too prosaic for a Class Record, Josh. Time always meant study 
and the means for it when at Princeton and I am feeling much the same 
grind now. Still those years at college were well worth the sacrifice ; no, there 
were no sacrifices except one, that was too busy to really know all the fel- 
lows well. It is great joy to meet them now and have them remember an 
insignificant part of their number. 

But this is all to you personally. To the boys my best wishes and a sincere 
hope that any of them who visit Old Point Comfort will come over and look 
our school over. There is a strong Yale contingent here and on the Q. T. 
we need some Princeton tone. 

Yours ever, 

Laurence.

Dear Josh : 

Greetings to you and to all Ought-niners. Here's the story of my life— 
at least since the last class book came out. 

Like many another technical graduate, I find myself working along lines 
entirely different from those on which I studied. After getting an E.E. 
degree from Princeton in 1912, I decided that the best of four openings in 
sight was with the Central District (Bell) Telephone €0. in Pittsburgh. After 
fifteen months on cost work and outside plant engineering, I was transferred 
to commercial engineering for seven months. This sort of work is mighty 
interesting, for it involves making thorough studies of various towns in order 
to forecast the probable telephone growth., Occasionally I had written articles 
for our company paper, The Telephone News, so when the Publicity Depart- 
ment needed another man in Pittsburgh, I was chosen. Now I am reporter 
and "rewrite man" for the Neics, and also copy-writer and factotum In the 
Publicity Department. Advertising work is so attractive to me that I believe 
I'll stick to it. 

For about two years our family has been living in Pittsburgh. The last 
two summers I spent in Oakmont, a suburb on the Allegheny River. Water 
sports are very popular — the river is lined with club houses and camps, and on 
Saturday afternoons and Sundays is crowded with canoes and motor boats. 
Living there is like a vacation all summer long. However, that doesn't take 
the place of a real trip, and so last August I went off on a tour which included 
Cleveland, Detroit, Buffalo, and the Muskolca Lakes. I spent most of the time 
at Beaumaris — saw Jimmy Gill, ''Piser" Verner and Art Samuels there, by the 
way ! 

This winter I've been pretty busy with various activities. I am a member 
of the Committee of Management of the Boys' Y. M. C. A. in Allegheny, 
and have a live, hustling crowd in a Wireless Telegraph Club. I often think 
of our old quarters in the School of Science and wish Bill Shand and Bill 
Butler could see what we have here. Then I have a Sunday School class of 
boys at the interesting age of twelve, and they are at once a stiff problem and 
a great satisfaction. 

Socially, I'm having a very good time — although there isn't much left after 
those "activities" have been taken care of. "Jack" Colborn was in town for a 
couple of days last month and we had quite a party. Once in a while I see 
John Buchanan, Al Walter, Ed Bothwell and "Spiegel," but the 1909 
crowd in Pittsburgh is pretty well scattered. 

Herewith are a bunch of pictures taken in college days, and after ; I pre- 
sume the victims will not object. The best of luck to you and all the class. 

Sincerely yours, 

Paul B. Findley.

Dear Josh : 

After having vised up all my energy in answering your nine hundred and 
ninety-nine questions on the various blanks sent, you musn't expect much 
"pep'' left for a "breezy," as you call it, letter. 

When you ask for what "we professional men" are doing you have to 
remember that our history began with three years' extra education and our 
real history is only two years old, while the rest of the class have been grab- 
bing the world by the tail for full five years. It sort of puts us in a class 
by ourselves and our records (aside from some of our worthy doctors 
prescribing the wrong dose or amputating an occasional leg and the lawyers 
getting their clients in difficulty or jail) will not be sparkling with brilliant 
deeds. I note with regret that as yet we are not represented on the Supreme 
Bench of the United States. 

Final examinations in the law school and graduation at Michigan pre- 
vented my attending the "Big Third Reunion," one of the disappointments of 

128 



my life. While the Class was having one of the "best ever" times, I w^as at 
the musty law hooks and trying to displace thoughts of bands and beer, tents 
and reunions, and Yale games with Constitutional Law, Wills, and Equitable 
Remedies, etc. 

The following week in June, I was fortunate in being one of thirty out of 
a class of over two hundred to receive the degree of J.D. (which changes my 
nickname from "Kid" to "Doc" and for the unenlightened means "Doctor of 
Jurisprudence") and was one of eight to be elected by the Faculty to the 
legal Honorary Society corresponding to Phi Beta Kappa. 

After being admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of Michigan, I 
returned to Washington, was admitted to the local courts and began the 
practice of law in the office of my father and brother. I have found the 
practice here not only varied but intensely interesting. In addition to the 
local courts there are the great Governmental Departments, each having its 
own judicial tribunal, the Commerce Court, Court of Claims, Court of Cus- 
toms Appeals and the Supreme Court. Outside of the local courts much of 
my work has been in public land matters before the Interior Department 
where you have to fight like sin to get anything out of "Uncle Sam." As yet, 
not having hung a "nigger," my spurs in the legal profession, according to a 
time-honored tradition, have not been won but, at least, none of my clients 
are at present serving time in jail. 

As for the lawyer's life, its just one damn thing after another; when you 
arn't worrying about your clients' affairs you have a chance to worry about 
your own, but mostly you grind along and keep plugging with an accent on 
the plugging, especially during the first few years out. That, of course, doesn't 
make interesting history for a Class Record nor "breezy" reading — so 
enough. 

Walt Dunlop, Spencer Gordon, Charlie Phillips and myself constitute the 
Washington contingent of 'eg, supplemented now and then by occasional 
visitors who drop in from other parts. You can bet that we live for reunion 
time when we can get back to the old place and see the men in bunches. 

Here's to the best Class ever ! 

Yours, 

"Kid" Fox.

New York, March 15, 1915. 
Dear Josh : 

Upon receipt of your recent follow-up letter which, to my shame, was 
about the tenth I received, I immediately started looking through the 
formidable documents you sent me, and I must say they made me rather 
nervous. It was, of course, a comparatively easy matter for me to give you 
a list of my honors and dignities since graduation, for insertion in the uni- 
versity catalogue. All I had to do was to draw a line through the spaces 
reserved for this information. 

My daily routine since graduation has been about as follows. Get up, get a 
bath, go to work, go home and go to bed, with special emphasis upon getting 
the bath. My annals, therefore, are very brief. You will remember what has 
been said about the condition of the nation whose annals are brief. Experi- 
ence has taught me that the same applies to the individual and that happy in- 
deed is that individual whose annals are brief. So here goes ! 

1 was married immediately upon graduation and accepted a job with 
Messrs. Harris, Winthrop & Co., in their London office and went to London 
in the autumn of 1909. The firm of Harris, Winthrop & Co. are members 
of the New York Stock Exchange and do a general international banking 
business. In the autumn of 1911, I returned to America where for a time 
I was in the New York office of the same firm. In the spring of 1912 I 
became associated with Bernhard, Scholle & Co., 14 Wall Street, also an inter-

national banking house, with whom I have been ever since. I have been 
fortunate enough, even in times like these, to have enough to eat, with some 
times a little left over to get a drink and in addition to my other emoluments 
have had the title of "Manager" added to my name. 

As the high-brow papers would say "two sons were born to bless tlie 
marriage" — Morton Harrison Alan Fry, class boy, born in 1910, (this 
"cheeild was born in London"), and George Thomas Clark Fry, born in 1912 
Both of them are very handsome and well endowed so you see they take 
after me. 

Apart from this, I don't know that there is anything of particular interest 
to you or to the fellows. 

I am an ardent Wilsonian democrat and the "new freedom" is my hobby. 
I am a believer in Women Suffrage, which shows that I am henpecked. My 
pet brew is Wurzburger, and I am very fond of hearing "Herb'' Morrow sing 
a song. 

Your friend, 

MoRT.

Dear Josh : 

I'm sorry, but it's been impossible to shape up even a few verses for the 
Year Book. Even a letter is probably now too late, but at least it will show 
a letter of the right spirit. And next year, Josh, I'll be one of the first to send 
in m\' contribution ! 

There is little or nothing of general interest to tell about myself. A 
trip abroad^now over a year in the past — is a little the best thing that has 
happened to me yet. It was a glorious trip — seven moonlight nights on the 
water, a glimpse of Plymouth at dawn — Bremen, Hamburg, Berlin — a night 
at the foot of the Harts Mountains in a quaint town called Wernigerode with 
crooked streets, two story houses, and a village square that looked like a 
musical comedy setting when it was lighted at night with the one torch on 
the town hall. The Rhine, Cologne, Calais, a wee in London, Edinburgh a sail 
across the Irish Sea to Port Rush, ending with the most fascinating trip down 
the length of Ireland through Belfast, Dublin and along the Shannon to 
Killarney, Glengarifif, Cork and Queenstown. Some trip. Josh ! and it took 
me a little while to get back to ordinary prosaic life ! I was planning for a 
repeat last summer, but the Kaiser vetoed it. There is not much else to 
tell. A commuter's life is of the treadmill order, wath few thrills. 

All good wishes for the new year. 

As ever, 

Fred Funk.

Dear "Josh" : 

Enclosed please find the information about my very unimportant self which 
you have requested for the "Biographical Record." Please pardon me for 
not having sent it sooner. ^lany thanks for the announcement of the 
"sixth annual dinner.'' I cannot tell definitely as yet whether I shall be one 
of the lucky ones to be on hand. At present, I am engaged in producing 
for an amateur society, a play, for the benefit of the hospital in this "burg." 
They have made arrangements to have a dress rehearsal on the night of the 
thirteenth, but will certainly do my best to have this changed, if we can 
secure the hall for some other night. 

Hoping the "sixth" may be a great big success and with best regards to 
yourself, I am, 

As ever. 

Bill Glaser.

Dear Josh : 

Here goes for the stoiy of my life as per orders, but as you know I have 
only been practicing law and economy and it will be slow reading. Started 
in at the law school of George Washington University in the fall of 1909 
and took a morning course giving my whole time to it. In our class were 
Dunlop and Gamble, and the next year Phillips and Hinton joined us. In the 
summer of 1910 got a job with a title company, and in the fall went into the 
office of Mr. Penning, who has been looking out for me ever since. Arranged, 
my courses during last two 3'ears at law school for the late afternoons from 
4.45 to 6.30 not to interfere with office work. LL.B. June, 1912, and passed 
D. C. Bar exams. 

For the next two years had my name on Mr. Fenning's door and drew a 
salary from him and what I could extract from clients of my own, which 
as you may imagine was not enough to retire on. July i, 19141, we formed 
the present partnership of Penning & Gordon, of which I am general utility 
man. 

I still play a good deal of tennis, and one year won the singles champion- 
ship of the District of Columbia. Am now considered here as one of the 
youngest has-beens. 

136 



So endeth my autobiography. I am sending with it pictures of some of 
the students for the book, and a new and original poem (?) for the fire. 
Best regards to all the class. 

Sincerely, 

Spencer Gordon.

Dear Josh : 

When a fellow is almost 3000 miles away from Princeton, it is really more 
or less difficult to keep in touch with the old place and all its doings, except 
through the Alumni Weekly, which by the way is excellent for long distance 
news. And therein I noticed that our next '09 publication was soon to 
appear. I am eager to read what all the other men in our class have to say, 
and as I believe in reciprocity, it's up to me to send you something myself. 

After finishing at Harvard Law School and passing the State Bar exams 
I have settled down to practice of law here in Butte. It is very inter- 
esting work, especially that part of the work dealing with mines and 
minerals. If any of the fellows get out this way, they should stop off here and 
look me up. It is easier to show than to tell, and I would be glad to do it. 

We had quite a little excitement here last summer, when two factions of 
the miners were struggling for control, the state militia being called in to 
restore order. But everything looks favorable now, the democrats having 
made a clean sweep of the city election this spring and the mines are running 
full time now. 

I wish I could get back to Princeton this June. You fellows who live near- 
by don't know how lucky you are. I hope you continue to have the best of 
success. Josh, in keeping the Class of '09 on top, where it belongs, and where 
it is. 

Sincerely, 

John A. Groeneveld.

After leaving college went with Western Electric Co. in Seattle, Wash. Then 

prospected in Alaska with Copper River & Northwestern R. R. from

Hagie writes as follows : 

Dear Josh : 

Have been away out in the brush and hills so long I sure have almost 
dropped out of sight. Am working for the Government Forest Ranger and 
running a few horses and cattle from a ranch I bought a couple of years ago. 
Have had several cards from you, but as luck would have it they are gen- 
erally from a month to two late and so I feel I am way behind. 

Can't make it back this year, but will sure be back in the near future. 

Yours,

133 WILLIAM JOHN HALLIMOND C.E. 

a b c Private W. J. Hallimond, No. 7978, Machine Gun Section, 
Second Battalion, First Infantry Brigade, First Canadian 
Contingent, British Expeditionary Force, Army Post Office, 
London, England. 

Born May 6, 1885. Entered Princeton in 1905, graduated in 1910. Member 
of Tower Club. With Anti Costi Forestry Department in Anti Costi 
Island, Quebec, Canada, 1909-1912. At present in France fighting with 
the Allies. 

Bill attended our Fifth Reunion. Shortly afterwards he joined the Volun- 
teers of the First Canadian Contingent to join the British forces in France. 
Bill made such a favorable impression on the Canadian Military authori- 
ties that he was commissioned a First Lieutenant before the contingent 
left Canada. 

The following letter gives the last information we have concerning Bill. 
The Class Secretary has received assurance from the State Department at 
Washington that every effort is being made to locate Bill in the German 
Prisoner Detention Camps, but to date Aug. 10, 1915, no news has been re- 
ceived. We are grateful to Mel Hall '10 for this letter which so vividly de- 
scribes the situation on the battle front. 

Dear Butts : 

I am sending you what information is known of the last of Bill Hallimond, 
reported wounded and missing over a week ago, as I feel that it will be of 

140 




William John Hallimond 
1914 



interest to the Class and am sure that you will see that it reaches the 
proper sources. 

Bill Avas a private in D. Coy., 2nd Bn., ist Bde., ist Canadian Div., and 
was No. I in that Coy's machine gun section. His C. O. (commanding officer) 
said that Bill was the best man he had ; intelligent, cool, fearless, and with 
plenty of common sense, and that his name was about to be sent in for 
promotion to sergeant. 

During the first part of the recent great battle near Ypres, Bill did very 
well. When the order came to retire he and another man in his section went 
to save their gun. Bill carried the gun, the other man, the tripod. They 
retired under heavy fire, and after going a few hundred yards Bill fell. He 
rose and kept on, but soon fell again. He called to the other man to throw 
away the tripod and to take the gun, which he (Bill) could no longer carry. 
The C. O. (commanding officer) spoke of this evidence of coolheadedness 
up to the last, for the gun is of course, much more valuable than the tripod. 

Bill tried to stagger on a little further but fell again and the other man, 
who escaped unhit with the gun, lost sight of him. This is the last that has 
been seen or heard of Bill. The entire Class will join me in hoping that Bill 
was taken prisoner and that his wounds may not be serious. 

■ Personally, I have been having a rather bad, although distinctly interesting, 
time lately, located at Ypres. The unfortunate old town is now ciuite flat, 
and what little even of wreckage is left is now burning. We were shelled 
out of four ditlerent billets, each one completely destroyed ; we took to 
cellars, but those crumpled up under the ly in. hows, and most everyone was 
killed. The losses have been appalling. A lieutenant came out from Eng- 
land a few days ago to join his regiment; he found that it didn't exist, only 
one Corporal and seventeen men were left. Yesterday I saw 150 men walking 
back from the trenches, having been relieved ; they were all that was left of 
the P. P. C. L. I. (Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry), once, with 
drafts over 2,000 strong. Many of my friends have been done in, and 
familiar names or faces turn up every day in the casualty lists, various 
reports, or in the never ceasing streams of wounded pouring towards the 
rear. 

Over 25,000 shells are estimated to have fallen in Ypres in less than the last 
month. Some are shrapnel, some incendiary, some gas bombs, and many high 
explosives of all sizes, but one gets accustomed to all these and the constant 
din, the complete destruction and sudden and horrible death all around, and 
pays little attention to most of them. It is a kind of fatalism. Perhaps, 
however, it is only comparative, for there is no one who can ignore or pre- 
tend to regard with indifi^erence the 17-inch howitzers. When one of these 
shells lands it does not smash up or toss away chunks of houses or do the 
sort of damage one expects. The area in which the explosion takes place 
completely disappears in hell's own cloud of black smoke, fine dust, and 
flying wreckage. It flings large chunks of town high in the air and spreads 
them broad cast. The concussion shakes everything for miles, and huge white 
hot fragments of the shell scream through the air for more than a thousand 
yards from the center. One cannot see a foot through the dense black 

142 



acrid smoke, which burns the eyes and throat and is almost suffocating, and 
which lifts slowly and drifts away, like a pall over the town. For many 
minutes afterwards the air is full of a line dust, and great pieces of wreck- 
age, shattered beams, bricks, tiles, and stone rain about the neighborhood. 
On one famous night when over 2000 shells were dropped inside the town, 
the 17 inchers broke regularly every eight to twelve minutes, to the second. 
One alone, striking on a massive old casemate under the ramparts, kdled 
outright thirty-eight persons and nine horses, although there were only a 
few civilians in that section, no troops and no concentration. 

I and one other Lieutenant with me, are living like a pair of wild beasts, 
cooking our own food, as we cannot raise an orderly, not having had our 
clothes oft' but once in over a month, isolated, for the town is absolutely 
evacuated, having long since lost the Government motor assigned to us, our 
orderlies, most of our kit, and all our respectability and connection with 
civilization. We have had many thrills ; a few charges ; the night the French 
African troops broke and came pouring back in utter disorder with the 
Germans after them — when we thought all was lost and we were cut off, and 
only the splendid work of the Canadians saved the situation; a night that we 
rescued some abandoned motor ambulances and transports ; other nights when 
we chased spies signalling from church towers, in a weird silver light from 
the German fusees or star-shells, and got identifications of new German 
units on our front by robbing the German dead between the trenches of their 
identity disks and pay books. 

Today has been a reaction, sitting tight in this dead, abandoned town — 
flattened out by shells, burned over, pillaged and looted from end to end, 
unguarded, the haunt only of a few savage scavenger dogs and an occa- 
sional ghoul, who risks being shot to prowl about in the semi-light. The 
stench is most horrible — the typical sm^ells of this war, but mingled with a 
few others, and aggravated to the never-to-be-forgotten stench of Ypres — 
foul, reeking moats and backwaters, full of dead things ; the characteristic 
smell of burned houses, of wood, brick, and morter ; the stench of swollen 
horses long dead — there are scores all over and around the town, — the fine 
dust that never settles, hanging over all like the ghost of the town of which 
it once was an integral part ; and the acrid smoke from the shells, which 
never lifts. The stench, the lack of air, and the constant ear-splitting din 
make one's head ache, but the infrequent silences are ghostly and infinitely 
worse. The town is blocked with wreckage and closed to transport, and the 
never ending ambulance columns and files of lightly wounded pass circuitously 
around. 

I may catch a motorcyclist despatch rider tomorrow on the Vlamestinghe 
road and give him this, or something else may catch me first. One has out 
here feelings that vary from the uppermost heights of enthusiam and thrill 
and vigor to the depths of depression. Tonight I am feeling a little 
depressed. 

We are sitting tight tonight, waiting, while the locked lines struggle and 
surge on three sides of us. 

Best of luck to you, 

Mell *H[all, Lieut. I Corps.

Oct. 23, 1914. 

Josh, I do want to suggest, for the consideration of the class, an idea which 
has impressed me as one that is well worth while, namely : a small circular 
letter. The idea came to me from a small group of graduates of a certain 
New England college of the class of '79, who have found this means the 
very best and most pleasant for keeping up their close friendship and old 
college interest. 

Why would not it work just as well in our class? There surely are various 
fellows who are keeping in touch with each other in a more or less desultory 
manner, and it certainly seems to me that if this "chain gang" letter was to 
be adopted it would certainly help greatly in keeping us in touch with our 
old friends. The idea simply is for each fellow as the letters come to him, 
to rem.ove his old letter, put in a new one, so that each one in the gang receives 
five or six or more letters, depending upon the number of his own particular 
circle. This will give him the best sort of an idea as to just what his old 
friends are doing, living and hoping, and as life goes on should be of ever 
increasing value. Here Is the idea, I offer it to the boys for what it is worth. 

As for myself, I have found outside activities, such as the Big Brother 
Movement, Y. M. C. A., etc., most interesting and valuable, and there is not 
the slighest doubt that I have gotten a good deal more real satisfaction out of 
them than I have put in them, so that even from a purely selfish point of 
view I feel amply repaid for any time I have devoted to them, and I know 
that all of the other boys who have taken up work of this character have just 
exactly the same feeling in the matter. But outside of this my real work 
and activity has, of course, been the law. It is wonderfully interesting, and I 
feel that I have been most fortunate in being placed in a position where I 
get a very wide class of cases to look out for. I think I have done practically 
everything, of course in a small way, from negligence, divorce and criminal 
work to bankruptcy, mandamus and municipal matters, and it certainly is 
becoming more and more interesting as I go on, because in addition to the 
purely intellectual stimulus I surely do obtain a very much wider and 
clearer insight upon the general activities of life than if I were tied down 
to one specific line of endeavor — M.D.'s and C.E.'s take notice. 

Well I guess I have shot my wad so I will close. 

As ever, 

Dick Hartshorne.

December i. 
Dear Josh : 

Yes I am shamed of myself for not having written to you long ago. But I 
have had nothing to write about. Being a struggling lawyer in a town of 
about twenty-five thousand is not an epoch or epic making sort of life. Jack 
Colborn and Hewitt Reynolds are the only 'ogers I see around these parts. 
The former is practicing law in Fairmont, W. Va. He promises faithfully 
every time I see him to write you about himself. 

Last year I sent to Professor Collins the information as to the color of my 
great grandfather's first wife's hair, etc. And am enclosing the fifth year 
record blank with my answers. I think you already have my photo, taken in 
the Reunion tent. And I've mailed the supplementary post card. Some time 
when I'm feeling in a very literary mood I'll write a letter to the Class. 
But really Josh I've nothing to write about. Can't tell what a success I've 
made in my profession — it is merely modesty that forbids, of course. 

Well, I won't waste any more of your time, Josh, because I know you 
already have your hands full with the compiling of the fifth year record. 

Be sure to look me up if you ever get down into Western Maryland. 

Your friend, 

George Henderson.

New York, Nov. 12, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

That appended postal card was the most embarrassing part of the class 
record for me to fill out. I am afraid we poor medical students will bring the 
average down horribly. 

Since graduation from medical school in 1913, have been serving here at 
Roosevelt Hospital as interne and will not be through till July, 1915. Am on 
the surgical side, but they have not allowed me very many operations as yet, 
strange as that may seem ; in fact, did my first appendix only the other 
evening. Patient is still living, thank you. However, during my last six 
months, when I hope to be acting as House, I expect that a lot more thlngis 
will be coming my way. The work is always interesting, and I do think I am 
learning a little In my chosen line. "Turk" Martin Is here also, and we 
manage to hold up the Princeton end against a more numerous Yale and 
Harvard representation. Hugh Chaplin, Laurie Dowd, Norm McWilliams 
and Grant Thorburn are at various other hospitals, so any ought-nlner getting 
sick In these parts had better beware or one of us will get hold of him. 

Not married or thinking of it. The postal speaks for itself, and then they 
do say that you also need a second party to such an agreement. 
With best regards to all the class. 

As ever. 

Bill Hetzel.

Dear Josh : 

Greetings to the Class through you. If the fellows onh' knew how much 
trouble it has been for you to get this letter and "sad story of my life in 
detail" from me, they would all read it. 

That is the only real reason I can see why they should, because up to the 
present time I haven't set the world on fire, accomplished anything of great 
interest, nor have I been in jail. I have come nearer to the jail stuff than 
anything else. 

After graduating from Princeton (you will remember that I really did this 
little thing). I came home with a very exalted idea of my value to the world 
in general and sat down waiting for some huge organization who desperately 
needed my services to come and tell me so. 

I found that they were kind of slow to do this, so finally I decided to go out 
and hunt for a position. No little thing like a job would do. 

Evidently fate was kind to me because on September i, 1909, I went to work 
for the Penton Publishing Company as their Eastern representative. I 
traveled all through New England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl- 
vania trying to persuade people that they ought to advertise in the trade 
papers that the Penton Company published. Strange as it may seem 
I must have sent in a little business now and then, because I didn't have to 
fire myself for over a year and a half. 

Then I went to work for the old friends of the "C.E. Stude," Keuffel & 
Esser, as their advertising manager. I increased their business so wonder- 
fully that they are still building new plants to take care of it. I am not 
sure whether that was job or a position, but at any rate I graduated from 
there to become the manager of the copy department of The Hunton Eel- 
Elliott Special Service Agency, and in some way or other kidded them into 

149 



believing that my services were valuable enough to keep me on their pay 
roll until I made my present connection with the Gotham Advertising 
Company. 

Now to disprove the old argument of the A.B. students that the "C.E. doii't 
know anything," I am going to quote from Bill Shakespeare — "What's in a 
name?'' At the present time I am dignified by the title of Manager and 
Secretary of our organization, but between you and I — I have a hunch I 
would make a darn sight better office boy. I am so 'busy chasing elusive 
dollars that I haven't even had time to look for a wife and one of the real 
reasons why I want this letter in our year book is that I think some of you 
married men may take pity upon me and write me a set of rules or instruc- 
tions which, if carefully followed, may enable me to "put it over." 

Up to the present there is only one thing that I have to regret and that is 
I missed our Reunion last year. You can bet your bottom dollar and the 
two beans I gave you to help pay for the beer at that Reunion, that next ye^r 
I am going to be on hand, at least to hold up the average of "Hoffman's 
best." 

About the only thing that remains for me to tell you and the boys is that 
I am just as poor, but cheerful as ever, but have hopes. 

Now that my tale of woe is told, I hope there will be room left in your 
pages for me to extend a few words of good fellowship and real Princeton 
Greetings to all of our classmates. Most of the fellows that I meet look fat 
and prosperous and I certainly hope that all of them are in the prosperity 
class, whether they are fat or lean. 

Sincerely, 

Doc HiLDEBRANT.

Attorney-at-Law. 

Born in New Castle, Ky., on Nov. 15, 1887. Son of Benjamin Franklin Hill 
of Trimble County, Ky., and Edmonia Weil Samuell of Sedalia, Mo. 

Prepared at Central University, Danville, Ky. Entered Princeton in Septem- 
her, 1906, graduated in 1909 — second group. Member of Dial Lodge. 

Attended Harvard Law School, 1909-1912. Received degree of LL.B. in igi2. 
Practicing law at above address. 

Has been unable to attend our Reunions on account of distance. 

Nov. 16, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

Since I failed to give an account of myself two years ago, guess I'll just 
remark in passing that I was at Harvard Law School for the first three 
years after graduating, and that "13 Hebrews, 8," (look it up, fellows) typi- 
fies my life while there. There is no need to make this letter any drier than 

150 



it's bound to be, so I omit the account of my humdrum existance during the 
three years studying law. I know of course there will be a few such as Skid 
Carpenter and Frank Cist who will try to tell you all at the next Reunion 
that I went Wellesley-ward frequently, but don't be fooled ; they will 
only be trying to shift the lime-light from themselves. 

Since I finished at the Law School I've been toiling away down here in 
Louisville, trying to make a living by putting into practice some of the things I 
was supposed to learn at Law School. Believe me, it is some job. For- 
tunately I'm only forty miles from the base of supplies, i.e., the parental roof. 
After I've fasted forty days and forty nights I journey homeward for a 
good square meal and there they kill the fatted chicken of which I partake 
hungrily. 

I find the law an interesting profession at least, and am better pleased as 
time passes. Think perhaps fifty years hence I may be able to say, "Well, 
I guess I chose rightly." Let us hope so. 

The one bit of real news I can give you fellows is an account of Pat Green's 
wedding. I had the pleasure to be present at that event, in Lexington, Ky., 
on October lo, and was the only 'o9er, excepting Pat, on hand. He married 
Miss Ella K. Porter, of Lexington, one of the most charming girls I know. 
The color scheme was white and green, the bride was dressed in pure white 
and Pat furnished the Green, (Pardon me! and white, too, for he was as 
white as a sheet till it was all over, and then he out-rivaled the blushing bride 
in the art of blushing.) There were the usual showers of rice and old shoes 
and a deafening anvil chorus of cow bells and horns as the happy pair left 
for parts unknown. And that's the last I've heard of Pat and Ella K. Guess 
by this time they are safely and happily located in Chicago and a new volume 
on "Love in a Flat" is being writ. 

Skid Carpenter writes me that he is still a bachelor with no prospects of 
changing his condition. That's my fix exactly. 

I have nothing to say about football. The least said the better. Our 
Association here had a wire attached to the Associated Press wire and we got 
returns play by play. 

The Triangle Club is to be here Xmas and we are planning a smoker, and 
in addition to that there will be receptions and a dansant for them. 

Last week a fellow strode by me on the street with a sweeping swing and 
hatless. Without seeing his face I at once recognized McGee of 'og track 
fame. He was in Louisville selling bum-wadding. He hastened to say that 
he was sales manager for the Scott Paper Company and due to the war they 
were cutting down expenses and therefore he had taken this trip as his 
vacation. Very logical ! I ragged him considerably and he took it with 
extreme,good grace. 

Well best regards to all you fellows. If any of you ever hit Louisville 
look me up at 508 Louisville Trust Building. 

Yours very truly, 

Harry Hill.

attorneys, Chicago, 111. 

"Ted" attended our Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Reunions. 

Chicago, Oct. 27, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

Enclosed please find information blank properly and more or less truthfully 
filled out. I do not know whether the quotation "What kind of a class would 
my class be if every other member were just like me?" requires a frank 
answer or not, so I am giving myself the benefit of the doubt, not answering 
that question. 

My story is very tame. I do not think that it would interest anybody 
particularly, but I am impressed by your urgent request that each man send in 
one any way ; so here goes. 

After leaving college I spent three weeks with Al Walter fishing and having 
a wonderful time in Northern Michigan. Then I connected up with Ralph 
Thomas at the Soo and went with him out over the Canadian Pacific to San 
Rafael, Cal., where we both taught school in the Mt. Tamalpais Military 
Academy. We took in the World's Fair at Seattle on the way. Floyd 
Crosby's father was Headmaster of the school and we had a fine time there. 
We each enjoyed watching the other learning to ride a horse. 

I left California about Christijias, 1909, teaching in the University School 
for Boys in Chicago for the second term of that school year. Meanwhile I 
was studying for the Civil Service examinations for the position of Fourth 
Assistant Examiner, U. S. Patent Office. I took these examinations m 
April, 1910, and succeeded in passing. In June, 1910, I left the school and 
went to Northwestern Canada on a hunch that I would like to take out a 
homestead or pick up some wheat land in Alberta. I didn't do anything up 
there except travel around because I was called back by wire to Washington 
early in July to go into the Patent Office, and had to accept the appointment 
immediately if at all. 

I spent the next three years denying to worthy inventors the patents to 
which their inventive genius had justly entitled them. I was supposed to 
have charge of the class of Weaving and for a short time also Knitting and

Netting. These classes involved very heavy machinery, the machines often 
having many thousand moving parts, and they kept me pretty busy. I also 
studied law at the George Washington University. Spencer Gordon, Ralph 
Gamble and Walter Dunlop were at the same law school at the same time. 

In the Spring of 1912, I had a nervous breakdown which came from alleged 
overwork. I took a rest including two months in the Catskill Mountains, 
where I worked on the house you have heard me talk so much about and 
which had been ushered into existence with the assistance of Spencer Gordon 
and his girl friends the summer before. This rest also included a trip to 
California on which I stopped over with Herb Nichols in Trinidad, Col. I 
also saw a good deal of Piatt Kent in California. 

In April, 1913, I resigned from the Patent Office and went into the practice 
of patent law in Springfield, Mass., which, I may add, is a very forlorn 
country for a Princeton man to find himself in. The question (a) in your 
blank reminded me of that country, that's v;hat they used to ask up there 
"Frankly, Mr. Hinton, why did you go to Princeton?" The only reply I could 
make was that I had heard of Harvard and Yale. I left Springfield in 
October, 1913, and came to Chicago with the patent law firm of Parkinson & 
Lane. 

John Scull and I are living together like a true married pair with a real 
housekeeper, etc. There is always a bed and a plate for any ought-nincr 
at 741 Irving Park Boulevard, Chicago. 

Yours for '09, 

Ted Hinton.

Far Rockaway, N. Y., Jan. 7, 1915. 
Dear Josh : 

This may be too late, to serve purpose for which you wanted it, but even 
so it cannot do any harm. I have no excuse to offer for not writing before, 
except my natural delinquence in such matters. 

I am still plugging along with the Queens County Water Co. at a variety 
of different things, except during the summer months, when I spend most 
of my time on road and highway work. This makes a very pleasant com- 
bination of work, as I am outside most of the time during the pleasant 
weather and inside during the winter. I often think, with interest, of the fact 
that your father was at one time the Chief Engineer of this company. A 
number of the older employees remember him. 

Since our Third Reunion, my father and mother have been home for a 
visit and gone back again, to their work in Macedonia. You can appreciate, 
that it was a great pleasure for me, as I had not seen them for nine years. 

I am sorry that I have no pictures to send you of myself or my surroundings 
but I have not got them. 

I am looking forward to the dinner and you can count on me to be there. 
With best wishes to yourself and any of the fellows you see. 
Your friend and classmate, 

Charles L. House.

Attended our First Reunion. 

Houston, Texas, Nov. 18, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

Herewith my autobiography — also enclosed a picture of "Yours truly," 
"Yours truly, Jr.," and one of my father's fox hounds. You will, I trust 
have no difficulty in telling the three of us apart. 

I note that you desire a letter to the Class relating the events transpiring 
since the triennial reunion, and I trust you will treat this as such, if you find 
anything of interest in it. I believe that my letter in the last class record, 

I.S8 



which was issued at about the time of our triennial, recited that I was at 
that time on the verge of becoming a "worser half," and the event therein 
predicted duly took place on towit, June 8, 1Q12. Though on account of this 
previous engagement I was not able (do not ask me what I would have done 
if I had been able) to attend the triennial, nevertheless I was fortunate 
enough to have with me as two of my groomsmen the now famous Dr. 
W. B. Hetzel, and the equally infamous (I mean in fame) Thos. J. Gillespie, 
Jr. After the wedding they stayed in Texas for some time, attempting to 
meet wath the same success that I had, but their good looks and charming man- 
ners apparently did not avail them, as I note that they still claim to be single. 
At any rate, I was not bothered as to the outcome of their affairs, and took a 
pleasant trip to Europe, where Mrs. Hutcheson and I stayed for some two 
months or more, after which we returned to Texas. Each June, since then, 
it has been my intention to attend the reunion at Princeton, but each time 
that has proven impossible, and I have had to content myself with attending 
the reunion at the University of Texas in lieu thereof. There has only been 
one time each year that makes it nearly as difficult to stay away from Prince- 
ton as reunion time, and that is the time of the Yale-Princeton game each 
fall. Even though I am writing just now a few days after one of these 
games, in which we were defeated, nevertheless I feel proud of the spirit the 
team and the University has shown under adverse circumstances, and only 
wish that I had been there to contribute such small support as I might. 
I would especially have liked to have been there to have seen the new stadium 
(modesty forbids me to mention its name) and the new buildings, as well as 
to have the opportunity of introducing my family to the members of the 
Class, but there is one consolation in realizing that I did not attend at this 
time, and that is, that I shall be able 10 attend that much sooner in the 
future. 

To return to the autobiography — my life since the triennial reunion has 
been more or less without events of consequence, other than those already 
detailed, and yet each day has been so fully occupied that I have scarcely had 
the time I would have desired to keep in touch with the friends whom I came 
to love so well at Old Nassau. It is too bad that we live in such a busy 
generation that our time must needs be almost wholly devoted to our 
business interests, for otherwise I feel certain, judging from my own inclina- 
tions, that the Class of 1909 would spend the greater portion of its time 
"reunioning," and in the enjoyment of one another's good company. Of 
course such reunions would be doubly pleasant now, for the reason that the 
majority of us have wives and children to participate therein, and it is very 
hard indeed for me to realize that I am deprived of the opportunity of seeing 
the families of the friends of whom I was so fond at Princeton. Nevertheless, 
I have the consolation of realizing that Palmer, Jr. is fast approaching man- 
hood's estate, and will soon be selecting the kindergarten which best prepares 
for Princeton, and he will then begin to keep me in closer touch with the 
University. In the meantime, I am trying to rob by clients of enough money 
to set aside a sinking fund which will ultimately enable me to spend some 
portion of my time in Princeton, when he enters that institution, and Mrs. 

159 



Hutcheson is contributing nobly to the sinking fund by watching the 
market quotations with an eagle eye, and availing herself of good bargains 
in all household matters. 

For two years we lived in a rather large house owned by my mother on 
McKinney Avenue, but have now moved to 41 ii Main Street, where I have 
built a little home of my own, and where we are very comfortably situated 
without the upkeep of the larger house, which was bound to be a tax 
in many respects. If you could cast your optics on my "Palace in Spain" 
just now, you would probably see me with my feet on the banisters, reading 
the newspaper, while Palmer, Jr. pulls at one page of it, the sporting column, 
and Mrs. Hutcheson at another page, the social column. Nevertheless this 
interrupted process of reading is far more enjoyable than your unfortunates, 
who are bachelors, may imagine. I realize that my feet on the banisters would 
not add to the scenic effect, but the truth would out when I attempted to 
portray the picture. 

In a recent letter to the Secretary I made one suggestion ; that was, that 
the Class send telegrams collect, to all absent members of the Class at each 
reunion held by it, and I hope this policy will be put into effect at the coming 
dinner which I see is being prepared for February 13, in New York, and at 
which I wish I could be present, with all my heart. Put me down right now 
for a collect telegram, even if the policy is not generally adopted, though, of 
course, do not sign all the member's names who are present, if the Telegraph 
Company charge for the names, as I might be deprived of my next trip to 
Princeton, should you do so. 

I must close now, as there is little more to add, and little has been said to 
add to, though a considerable volume of space has been consumed. Strike out 
any portion of this missive which is irrelevant, immaterial, and not a part of 
"res gestae" if you see fit; only include my signature, which is sincerely 
stated as "one who is proud to class himself as a friend of any member of 
the Class of 1909 who entertains a friendly feeling towards him." 

W. Palmer Hutcheson.

Chicago, Oct. i6, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

Referring to your recent favor asking for a letter telling what I have been 
doing, or trying to do, since our triennial, I am afraid that I will not have very 
much to tell you. 

Since leaving college, I have been in the bond business working for 
Messrs. Lee, Higginson & Company and am getting along slowly, but I hope, 
surely. On March 29, 1913, Miss Margaret Keep did me the honor to marry 
me. We have one son. Chauncey Keep Hutchins, born October 11, 1914. 
There really is not much more to say except that I always look forward to 
the time when I can get back to Princeton. 
Trusting that you are well, I am, 

Sincerely yours, 

James C. Hutchins, Jr.

My dear Josh : 

In order to prevent you from carrying cur your threat of taking privileges 
with my "mug" and pedigree, I am rushing this through for the last edition 
of the class-book with an immense appreciation of your vast efforts in extract- 
ing these confessions from a large majority of the class. 

Five years, now that they are past, seems a short while, but they certainly 
held some big changes and events while they were going, and I think have 
been most important and decisive ones for us all. 

I have not had the opportunity to see any classmates enough to keep posted 
on the current dope, but the freciuent wedding announcements have been an 
oft reminder that they are doing things, and that the ranks of the Ought- 
niners are rapidly increasing, all of which is a natural preface to the remark 
that I hope in short order to end this (single blessedness?) and am at present 
watchfully waiting the time to arrive. 

My career has kept me so generally on the move that I have not gathered 
the moss of any special locality, although I must confess that it is not moss 
but "the rocks'' that I am after, and wherever the contracting business has 
taken me from Corning to Baltimore or Easton to Newark or New York, 
there I have found others of us on the same quest, and at it with the same 
zest. 

As an occasional attendant in the past at the weekly meetings at luncheon in 
New York, I hope that useful institution has not been abolished and that more 
of us could attend, for it is a most helpful way of keeping in touch with class 
activities and conditions in general. At the last meeting I attended many of 
us were thrilled with class pride and patriotism to see our class militant, 
Private William Zinsser take the middle of the table and denounce with one 
hand the pacific policy of the U. S. and with the other, threaten with invasion 
and conquest the Republic of Mexico. I am happy to say that peace prevailed, 
but let Mexico beware. 

I am enclosing a snap shot taken at Bay Head, N. J., which place I usually 
manage to make for a short vacation each summer, and for a general meeting 
place of Princeton people of all ages and classes it cannot be beaten. 

Greetings to you, Josh, and regards to all the class, 
I am yours sincerely, 

Clinton F. Ivans.

Josh has been unable to attend any Reunions on account of distance. 

San Diego, Cal., April 11, 1915. 
Dear Josh : 

Your notice in a recent issue of the Alumni JV.cckly to the effect that all 
letters from members of '09 would have to be in by April 15, spurred me on to 
overcome my procrastination and I hope that the few lines which I shall write 
will arrive in time. 

164 



I graduated from the Harvard Law School in June, 1913, and came to 
San Diego, Cal., in September, 191 3. The day following my arrival here I 
went to work in the office of Doolittle & Morrison, a firm of attorneys who 
have been practicing law in San Diego for many years and who are well 
and favorably known in the state. 1 have been with them continuously since 
the time mentioned above. I think that my experience as an attorney is 
hardly sufficient as yet to warrant the recounting of it. 

During the autumn of 1913. I ran across Frank A. HoUowbush ex-'o9, 
here and learned that he had gone into the business of exhibiting motion 
pictures in this city. I enclose a picture of Frank and myself taken in front 
of his theatre on "W Street in San Diego. 

I am sorry not to have been able to attend any of the reunions so far. The 
distance from Princeton at Avhicli I am now living discourages any hope of my 
getting back in the near future. 

I wish you and the other members of the Class of 1909 much good fortune 
and pleasant times at Princeton. 

Sincerely, 

Josh Jennings. 

P. S. — I neglected to mention that I have also seen "Cab" Driver here. 
"Cab's" home is in San Diego, but he is at present working in Los Angeles.

Gene attended our First, Second, Third and Fifth Reunions. 

Dear Josh : 

When your first notice, asking for letters to make up our five year book 
was received, I immediately wrote, but not being satisfied with what it con- 
tained telling of my efforts since leaving college. I never sent it. 

Your letter telling of your change has encouraged me to write another. 

1 have been pretty much out of touch with the class except at times of 
reunion and that is not a very good time to find out what the members 
are doing. So I had imagined that most of them had found their work and 

166 



as I had not done anything strikingly brilliant, thought best not to boast 
of my short-comings. 

My time since leaving college is summed up in a very few lines. One year 
at Harvard Law, three years with the New York Telephone Co., and the last 
two at law again with Mr. Wilkinson, who is attorney for the New York 
Central Railroad and the New York Telephone Co. 

So you see I wasted three years before landing where I hope to stay and 
there is nothing brilliant about that. I am sorry to have missed the dinners in 
New York, but something always seemed to come up at the last moment and 
prevent my going. I am going to try and do better in the future. 

The only two members of the class I have seen since last spring are 
Kenneth Stern, whom I met during the winter and who seems to be upholding 
the reputation of the class for success and Al Little and his wife whom we 
had the pleasure of entertaining over Sunday and speaking for my wife and 
myself we sure did enjoy having them with us. We talked over all the 
good old times and planned to be at reunion this spring so I guess there are 
two more to add to the sure list. 

Well, Josh, I wish you best of luck and success in your new undertaking, 
and if there is anything I can ever do for you in the Queen City of the 
Hudson, be sure and let me know. 

With best wishes to you and your's, 

As ever. 

Gene.

New York, Nov. 17, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

Another college year has come around and now that the football season is 
over, I realize how far advanced it is and that I should have sent my contri- 
bution to the Class Record some time ago. 

For the last few years, things have been rather quiet and uneventful with 
me ; in fact I have not been more than two hundred miles from home since 
leaving college and have been rather steadily on the job. I should perhaps 
be thankful for this except that I cannot entertain you by relating some 
adventures. 

Therefore, I merely send you the enclosed photograph, taken on a tramp 
in the mountains, to remind you how I look. 

With best wishes for the success of the Record and hoping to see you at 
the dinner in February, I remain, 

Most sincerely yours, 

John Y. Kellogg.

for my part I wish to apologize for the delay in writing, as I can fully realize 
how much delays and neglect complicate your work. 

Except for a few fleeting glimpses on November 14, I have seen none of the 
peerless class since June. I think this fact is responsible to a large degree for 
my great enthusiasm to get back to every reunion. Out here in the provinces 
I seldom meet any classmates, and hence about January first every year the 
old mania to run around the Campus in a funny costume and sing sweet agony 
with my compatriots from Pottstown — Ike Thomas and Bill Leeper — ^begins to 
stir in my system, and by the end of May my clients (notice the plural) are 
wandering what form of absent-mindedness is afflicting their learned and 
astute counsellor. 

I am still single, though the dark clouds are lowering. The Internal Revenue 
Collector has twice done me the sincere compliment of sending me blanks 
upon which to make my return for the purpose of having by Income Tax 
assessed — which shows that I am fooling someone, at any rate. 

With this letter go my sincere and cordial regards to all the fellows, not 
overlooking your well-beloved self. 

As always,

Attended our Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Reunions. 
Dear Josh : 

There really hasn't been much of a startling nature to write about since the 
Triennial Record. Last January, I made arrangements with the Dayton Mal- 
leable Iron Co. to handle their business here in the East, and that, together 
with my connection with the Durion Casting Co. and Stover & Hall, has 
kept me on the rush ever since. In May, I picked up a little secondhand 
roadster for "business purposes," and used it to take the wife, kid and young 
lady down to the Reunion. We only suffered a busted spring on the trip, and 
had one fine time at Princeton. Since then the little boat has been in constant 
service. Made the trip to Claiborne, Md., 247 miles in one day, and just last 

172 



week went to Washington in it. That has been the only form of exercise I 
have had this year, but it has served to keep the family out in the open air and 
made us feel up to snuff in spite of the transparency of the pocketbook result- 
ing from the upkeep of the dinged thing. 

Incidentally, Freddy, Jr. hasn't gotten over his Reunion experience yet — 
giving vent at sundry unexpected periods to Tiger, SBoom, Rah, and such 
noises. Also, he is already looking forward to his entry as a stude, — hasn't 
started to kindergarten yet, but makes me wish frequently I had taken a P. G. 
course so as to be able to answer his questions. E.g., he requested enlighten- 
ment on : "Why is Josh Brush ?", and blamed if I could reply to his 
satisfaction. 

With best wishes to you in your work on the Record, 

Very sincerely, 

Freddy Kolb.

Dear Josh : 

Since our last class book was published I have jumped from Perth Amboy, 
N. J., to Washington, D. C, and am now working for Professor (now Com- 
missioner) Daniels in the Interstate Commerce Commission. I feel sure that 
my classmates who took the Economics course at Princeton know what it 
means to work for Professor Daniels and will be inclined to extend to me 
their heartfelt sympathy. I must refuse to accept it, however, for the work 
is most fascinating. You can't imagine what fun it is trying to keep the 
naughty railroads in the straight and narrow path. Commissioner Daniels 
is an ideal man to work for, — one of those men whose extraordinary ability, 
broad sympathies, and highness of purpose stamp them as the finest product 
of our Alma Mater and make us proud that we, too, are Princeton men. 

I feel almost as if I were in college. With Woodrow in charge of the 
department of politics, Mr. Daniels discussing railway economics with me 
every day, and Royal Meeker only a few squares away trying to figure out 
the effect of the index number on immigration, I can almost hear the bell on 
Old North ring every hour. And then Tom Woodward '06, as loyal a Prince- 
tonian as one ever meets, is one of my fellow workers. 

I'm married, too, and if you don't think I'm happy, and have reason to be, 
look at my picture. Both of us (for I have nothing on her when it comes to 
an affectionate loyalty to Princeton) send our best wishes to Ought Nine and 
are glad to know that the ties that bind our class together grow stronger 
and more sacred as the months ripen^into years and the years into a life of 
service to our Alma Mater and our country. 

Most sincerely. 



Wilbur LaRoe, Jr. 



Extract from Perth Amboy News. 



WILBUR LA ROE, JR., 

IS AGAIN PROMOTED 



Has Been Appointed Examiner Attor- 
ney of Interstate Commerce 
Commission 

Wilbur La Roe, Jr., son of City 
Clerk Wilbur La Roe, of this city, has 
just been appointed as an examiner 
attorney with an increase of $2,coo a 
year in salary. This makes the young 
lawyer's fifth promotion in the Inter- 
state Commerce Commission service at 
Washington, D. C, in less than a year. 
The promotions have involved a total 
increase of nearly $3,000 a year in salary. 

The latest jump for Mr. La Roe has 
been the biggest and his new work will 

174 



be quite different from what he has 
been doing. He will probably travel 
about the country for two or three 
months a year, presiding at the trials 
of the commission's principal cases. As 
examiner attorney Air. La Roe will pre- 
side at hearings where some of the 
biggest railroad attorneys in the country 
appear. 

Mr. La Roe's rise has been rapid and 
most encouraging. When he first went 
to Washington as assistant to Commis- 
sioner Winthrop M. Daniels he had ex- 
pected to hold that position for at least a 
few 3^ears. He held it just thirty days 
and then became the commissioner's 
junior attorney. On January i Mr. 
Daniels made him his senior attorney. 
That lasted fourteen days and Mr. La 
Roe was then advanced to the Board 
of Review, which position he held for 
ten weeks.

Nov. 29. 
Dear Josh : 

I had answered a, b, and d, but c was the hardest thing of all and tonight I 
started on other letters and then decided to answer your inquiry. It is not fair 
to hold off so long. 

I believe I answered all the cjuestions on the blanks sent out by Professor 
Collins last year but filled out yours anyway. 

As for pictures I enclose tv^^o to choose from, personally I like the smaller 
one, 1913, better ; the other is not as good, these are the only ones taken in 
five years. I bequeath them to you to do as you please. 

As for history, I have none. Have been with the same company since leav- 
ing college and have been estimating in the office and w^ork of that kind over- 
seeing jobs from the office end, timekeeping and engineering work outside and 
various odd jobs for the damned — pardon the above, I got all balled up — to 
continue, I like the work but cannot see much ahead so I don't quite know 
what will happen, nothing for the present at any rate. 

Two years ago just at this time, I took a trip to Cuba, Jamaica, Panama 
Canal and the Pacific coast, spent ten days on the Canal and went all over it. 
I was alone so I loafed along and asked all kinds of questions and went 
wherever I pleased and saw the whole works pretty thoroughly. It was 
great, and worth ten dozen of Smith's lectures, Harris' or Bum McMillan's. 

Spent a tiresome two weeks on a rotten ship of the Pacific Mail S. S. Co. 
from Panama to Los Angeles — rather San Pedro — and worked my way to 
San Francisco by way of Santa Barbara, in all spent about two weeks there 
and then took a slow trip home, stopping at a number of places on the way. 

For the last two years I have taken a few days for shooting with some other 
fellows on the Patuxent River in Maryland. We have all had good luck and a 
bully time, though I never struck harder beds or heavier coverlets, they all 
down there seem to think a thin straw mattress is fine and then the heaviest 
kind of a bed spread or coverlet with no warmth at all is the way to sleep. 

I thought for a while that Pop Seeley would be here in charge of some work 
Snare & Triest have on the river front, but he was sent to Charleston in- 
stead and Ed Miller '04 has been running things since then. 

One thing Josh, I have learned, and that is pile driving and especially to 
drive piles point or small end down, not as some of those textbook dufi'ers 
used to say, butt down. 

I hope the new E.E. head cuts out some of the useless stuff we had and 
gets practical outside work. I studied an awful lot there that I have forgotten 

176 




I — Pop Whalev. 2 — Xorm Armour. 3 — Xorm Mackie. 




4 — Oii I You! Harry Hill! 5 — Bill Latta. 6 — Red Milne. 



and never used since and some things I did not bother with. I wish I had 
studied a good bit harder. 

There are a few '09 men here though we do not get together 
very much as we are scattered all over town. I see Charlie and Heyward 
Myers at lunch quite often and Jim Maury and Fats Caldwell, who is now 
located here. 

Josh don't put any of this in the Class Record, I cannot seem to write 
coherently tonight and I will try some other time, at any rate, I will send back 
your question sheets, photos and other stuff and help j^ou out that much. 

I am getting sick of this straight C.E. work and if things don't hegin to 
break a little faster in my direction, I think I will hunt another line. Wish I 
had taken up Hydraulic Engineering at some place where there was a good 
course. 

Now Josh, don't publish any of this, I will write you a real autobiography 
in a few weeks, probably for a Xmas present. 

Sincerely, 

Bill Latta.

Manila, Philippine Islands. 

Frank attended our Fourth Reunion. 

Cagayan de Misamis, 
Philippine Islands, March 20, 191S. 
My dear Josh : 

You no doubt remember that little speech two years ago, in which . I told 
of the dream of a large future for the Island of Mindanao, which I then enter- 
tained, and what I hoped for all of the Philippines. 

The facts have exceeded my highest expectations. Never have we set eyes 
on such beautiful islands. From Manila to Mindanao there are a thousand 
fairy lands, each one more surprising than the one before, and Mindanao the 

178 



queen of them all. You poor self-made slaves of the cold north anon escape 
to the Bermudas, or to California, or perhaps to the charmed Hawaias, but 
you have never seen Elysium in all its glory until you have visited this island 
on the under side of the world. 

Emerson could have found evidence for his theory of compensation here. 
The natives allow this paradise to be transformed into a death valley by 
malaria, cholera, and other preventable diseases, and make hell out of it for 
themselves by their senseless feuds. A Bagobo isn't in good standing until 
he has killed three men, and he does not have the privilege of refraining from 
all work until he has killed a score. This contrast between the generosity of 
nature and the meanness of man makes one sick. ]\Iy job, as I see it. is to do 
w^hat I can to make these foolish people worthy of their heritage, by means of 
the Christian ideal of service, work and honor. 

The openness, the responsiveness, the eagerness of these people, is inspir- 
ing. There are young men along this coast by the thousands who want the 
very best that the United States has to give them, but who never saw $5.00 
in their lives, with which to pay for_it. They can get food and what clothing 
they need, but have no means of earning money. They have brilliant minds 
and any amount of ambition. I pity these fellows, for I earned m}- way 
through college, and I know what it would have meant to have lived in a 
land like this, where there are no chances for making money without tne 
capital with which to start. There is a field here for a large industrial school 
in which all these young men could learn bow to develop their resources, and 
at the same time earn their own way. One of my fondest dreams is to develop 
such an institution. 

How many men do you know who would like to do a big work in a new 
country pregnant with possibilities? We want an instructor in the industrial 
arts, another in agriculture, a physician who is an expert in tropical diseases 
and particularly in sanitation, and an instructor in civil, mining and electrical 
engineering. Each of these men would find himself overworked to exhaus- 
tion and lionized ad naiisiaiu. About half the time, as I contemplate the 
things that ought to be done and must be done, my brain throbs until it 
aches. One is here in the midst of the stimulation and the despair of having 
attempted something far beyond his capacities. 

You told me to write for whatever I needed. I need these men worst of 
all. Let them write the American Board at Boston that they want to come 
out here as soon as possible. That is the first little request. 

What I started writing this letter for was to tell you how much I am in 
need of a motorcycle with a side wheel and a third seat. Cagayan is a city 
of magnificent distances, and I am compelled to travel for four hundred miles 
along the coast from one city to another. The United States government has 
built about two hundred miles of excellent roads and I could just about double 
my efficiency if I could stop the waste of time in traveling from one place 
to another. 

It may be that some member of the class has a secondhand motorcycle, or 
owns a company which makes them. I venture to hope that the class may 
approve of this extension of its influence enough to care to send me a motor- 

179 



cycle for a Christmas present. You might have it painted orange and black. 

I wish you would all come out and see us. The trip is not nearly so long 
as it sounds, and is restful after you leave Frisco. It is only a question of a 
few hundred plunks. Wear your Princeton button when you come in sight 
of our wigwam and the bull terrier will not bite. If any of you are disap- 
pointed about not being able to take your annual trip to Europe, go west 
young men, and do not stop going until you reach the East. If we could 
only persuade about a dozen people to come over and see what is happening, 
we would not need to beg for money or motorcycles or automobiles again, — 
I neglected to say that a Ford will do quite as well as a motorcycle, though 
a heavier car would be too expensive for gasoline and up-keep. 

The good people of Upper Montclair gave us a victrola and we have a 
concert after our daily toil is over, almost every night, usually closing the 
entertainment with a beautiful record of "Old Nassau" sung by a male 
quartet. 

Best wishes to all the men of 1909, their wives, sweethearts, and babies. 
Cordially your classmate, 

Frank C. Laubach.

Dear Josh : 

I have done my best to answer your questions and requests satisfactorily. 
If I have erred seriously, please make known the particulars. 

Merely to write you an account of my accomplishments since graduation 
would fall somewhat short of filling this page and that would be somewhat 
embarrassing to me for I understand from several of the fellows that all 
modesty should be religiously avoided in the composition of these letters. I 
will therefore omit disgusting details. 

My accomplishments are, as they seem to me, good health, happiness and 



board and lodging; my regrets, single blessedness and a law practice which 
has prevented my presence at our Reunions. However, I regard chiefly my 
graduation with the Class and you may rest assured that in the future but 
one word of a reunion will suffice to assure my attendance. 

With increased love for Princeton and Ought Nine, I remain, 

Sincerely, 

Laury.

Dear Josh : 

Under separate cover, I am sending you the half-tone made from the photo- 
graph Bill Hallimond sent me from Hull not long before the Canadians were 
transported to France. Bill is a machine gunner and hates Germans. With 
that combination and knowing Bill, we can assume that he is a regular 
fighting man. Below is Bill's address. I am sure that he will be glad to 
get letters from any of the fellows. 

Private, Wm. J. Hallimond, No. 7978, Machine Gun Section, Second 
Battalion, First Infantry Brigade, First Canadian Contingent, British 
Expeditionary Force, Army Post Office, London, England. 

A few weeks ago, I made one of those partly business, partly pleasure 
trips (depending whether you are talking to your business associate or not), 
to your part of the country. At Pittsburgh, I saw Al Walter, who did all that 
was expected of him, feeding me and toting me around in his automobile. 
Al let me wait for a few minutes several times while he stepped into several 
establishments to collect bills, as he always came back unscathed, and with 
the rubber band stretched a little more, the party proceeded, all the merrier. 

At Princeton I stayed for a night with Professor Sam Shellabarger, whom 
I found in good health and with the point of view of the underpaid Pro- 
fessor. There are problems at Princeton we never dreamed of. We had a 
fine old bicker, and it was good to get Princeton facts and breathe its 
atmosphere. 

While in Baltimore, I visited Mr. and Mrs. Stans Brady and two sons. 
Stans has a fine record for his first five years. Home in the country and 
cattle in the barn. Anyone visiting the Brady's should take old clothes, as 
they have an old custom for making visitors work on the farm. 

As for myself, I am unmarried but happy. It can be so when necessary. I 
haven't grown in size in any direction, and have all my own teeth, thanks 
to Dentacura. No kicks about business or hard times, and will vote for 
Woody any day. A lot of these pikers giving Woodrow's administration as 
an excuse for falling down on their jobs, should make us ill. 

Hope to see you at the Big Sixth. 

Yours very truly, 

R. N. Lupfer.

Roosevelt Hospital, New York Cit3^ 
Dear Josh : 

This is just a line to let my fellow-mates know that I am still strenuously 
engaged in the Roosevelt Hospital, Xew York City, living and learning. It 
will be only a few months now, when I shall be through hospital life, and then, 
after hanging out my shingle — just where I have not decided — I shall make 
the real start. 

That postal inquiring as to our incomes is rather embarrassing for us 
poor Docs to answer, and of the eleven vocations, I note that you have failed 
to put our vocation of medicine on the list, so I presume this exempts us from 
replying. It is just as well that we Docs are not included, for we will bring 
the average away, way down. But I feel that this will be more than made 
up by our barristers, who, from all reports, are coining money. 

And so, consequently my time and energy, since our Triennial has been spent 
in the hospital, and I hope that by the Tenth, I shall have something more 
interesting to report. I have not allowed anything medical to come into this 
letter, sparing you from what I thought would be uninteresting news. 

And in closing, I think we ought to congratulate ourselves that we have 
such a good committee running things as they only know how, — and to voice 
again our gratitude for their unflagging interest and enthusiasm. Hoping they 
will get out the best Fifth Year Record ever, 

^lost sincerely, 

(Signed) "Turk" Martin.

Marion, Ind., Oct. 22, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

Here goes for a bit of autobiography in reply to your letter concerning the 
Class Record. 

As you may recall, after graduating from Princeton, it was so hard for me 
to break off the relationship, I chose to return and spend the major part of the 
following year in the Graduate School. Even then, I didn't sever all ties, for 
another season was spent as a Princeton Fellow in- European study. Upon 
my return to this country, I was busied for a year with Museum work, first 
at the Metropolitan in New York, and then at the Herron Art Institute in 
Indianapolis. Next followed a summer during which I played the humble 
role of farmer, to be called during the ensuing winter from the plough-share 
to a professor's chair in Wells College. From this latter experience, in a 
female institution, I emerged — a bachelor. 

Returning to my home, I settled down in Marion and am become these 
last two years a veritable Hoosier. Incidentally, banking has been, and is, 
the object of my activity. Owing to the dearth of Princeton men hereabouts, 
the board of directors of the Marion State Bank were moved by force of 
circumstances to elect me first to their membership and more recently to the 
position of Vice-President of their institution. 

Remembering from undergraduate days President Wilson's injunction to 
the college man to take a more active inte^^est in politics, I accepted last June 
the Republican Party's nomination for County Councilman. Much as I would 
regret to see President Wilson's administration censured at this time, I must 
confess to a confidence in the Republican Party's ability to carry the state 
of Indiana this November. (In case my prediction fails, I'll trust you, Josh, 
to edit the foregoing sentence before it appears in print.) Outside of politics 
I have also been instrumental in organizing Marion's new Association of 
Commerce, of which I am the enthusiastic secretary. 

So much for extraneous matters. As an Ought-Niner and a "Reuner" — 
which is one and the same thing, thanks to our efficient Secretary — I realize 
that my record is not the best, having attended but two class gatherings since 
leaving Princeton. However, I counted myself fortunate in being present at 

188 



the Big Fifth last June, and am looking forward to many more Reunions not 
only in Princeton but with any members of the Class who happen to alight 
in this part of the country. 

Yours for the Class, 

Milton Matter.

December 29, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

Here I am sitting in the privacy of my chamber, writing you that long 
deferred letter. I hope it will get the prize. Before you get through reading 
this, you will notice how handy I am with the typewriter, as I expect to 
make thousands of mistakes. I suppose you want a history of my life since 
last we met, but I am afraid I won't be i-ble to give you a very good one. 
I don't mean by that I haven't behaved myself, but simply that there isn't 
much to tell. Whenever anyone asks me what I do with myself I find it 
hard at times to give a satisfactory answer. I sometimes try to explain exactly 
my mode of living but generally get hopelessly involved. I feel very much 
the same way our distinguished Secretary from Tegusagolfer feels whenever 
such a pertinent question is put to him. Of course every one knows to whom I 
refer ; none other than Spike Belden. I tried to find out last June what his 
duties were and he seemed rather vague and wandering. After a long and 
heated argument I finally gleaned in a general way his mode of living. In the 
first place he said "I generally get up." Good, I thought, here is a man after 
my own heart. Then he said, '"I eat breakfast, walk down to the Embassy 
(I think that is what he called it), and look over the mail. After lunch I 

189 



take a nap on the veranda, and in the cool of the evening I go for a ride 
on my favorite donkey." I might say my daily routine corresponcfs very 
closely to Spike's. The only difference to note is that I don't ride a donkey. 
I think Spike puts that in to make it hard. On the whole I manage to keep 
myself busy with this, that, and whatnot else (see Bogart page 435). Up to 
the present time I haven't thought exactly what I want to do. I don't 
like office work, it's too confining. I'd lather have some outside job, say 
window washing, or sign painting. And speaking of signs that reminds me 
of Art Samuels. He's in the advertising business you know here in Philadel- 
phia, and doing very well. I believe the name of his firm is the Cyrus H. K. 
Curtz Co. who publish the Public Ledger. And I want to say "of all the^ 
Hartford boys who went to Princeton in our class and are now on the staff 
of the Public Ledger he is doing by far and away the best. His folks ought 
to be very proud of him." (X. Y. Tribune, F. P. A.) 

There isn't much I can tell j'ou. Josh, about myself as nothing very exciting 
has happened to me. I'm not even married, although our esteemed President 
implied as much in his letter to me of recent date. I won't tell you what he 
said as it might show to what a low state of morals he has fallen. At any 
rate I wasn't going to tell you about him, but rather about myself. Every 
summer I go away to a palatial house perched on the brow of a 
towering cliff, overlooking the beautiful but turbulent waters of Buzzard's 
Bay. The name of the town is Mattapoisett. It is Indian for place of rest, 
and believe me the Indian who named it was some little namer. One can rest 
there almost any time. As very few fellows feel in need of such complete rest 
I am practically the only steady "young man." What with the "hops," the 
dansants, bridge, yachting, boating, swimming, rowing, tennising, golfing, 
automobiling, balooning, etc., I am kept right busy. Speaking of automobiling, 
I had a very narrow escape up there two summers ago. I think I would rather 
jump off the Brooklyn bridge than go through it again. The car turned turtle 
and pinned us under the car. Outside of that, the trip was a great success. 
And then I am a great yachtsman in the summer. When I get on my yacht- 
ing cap and so forth no better sailor stepped before a camera or sailed over 
the canvas rocks of the stage. By that you know I am some sailor. My ship 
carries a gallant crew of two besides the captain, and a sturdy lot they are. 
We generally get well soaked on our voyages, but we don't mind that. They 
say salt water never gives j'ou a cold. Golfing is another of my strong 
points. I have been known to hit the ball tremendous distances. Often of a 
morning I have shattered several clubs, so you can see with what terrific 
force I swing. 

As I said before we also play tennis. Yes indeed. We have 
a fine eighteen hole tennis court. It's more like playing on cobble stones 
or a freshly plowed field. Still it's fun judging the bounce. It trains you to 
think fast, and makes you very light on your feet. I don't think Fat Wagner 
or Johnny Vaughn would have many rallies. In fact we never have any 
either. Once the ball is over the net the point is yours. The person who 
starts serving generally wins. 

And now I think I have giver you a pretty good description of my 

190 



summer activities, and will pass on to winter. I'm afraid that in winter 
I do just about the same, except there are no outdoor sports. Most of my 
time is spent in the Princeton Club here. I go there almost every day 
for lunch, and a great many of the class do the same. Heyward Myers, 
and Charlie, Bill Latta, Aubrey Bunting, Fat Cadwell, Dick Este, Frank 
Keen, Art Samuels, are almost sure to be there. This makes it pleasant for 
all concerned, and we manage to have a very good time. 

Incidentally I might say that '09 has contributed $1,365 towards a new club 
house, out of a grand total of $8,750 contributed by the rest of the members. I 
also heard that our class gave more towards the Gailey fund than any other 
class. It only shows how we are making good all along the line, and that '09 is 
going to make a record for itself. It might be timely to say here something 
about the ]\Iemorial Fund. Very few fellows seem to realize how important 
this is. From the accounts iii the Weekly the money is coming very slowly, 
and it doesn't look as if we were going to get the $17,000 required by our 
tenth reunion. As one of the committee, I ask that every one give this matter 
his careful consideration and to give to the best of his ability. We don't want 
the class to fall down on this, and certainly to reach the mark we must go 
some. 

I don't know Josh that I can write much more; I'm about written out. 
I can only add that I hope to be present next June, and see all the fellows 
again. I can smell the hot dogs now and the stale beer. What a delicious 
aroma that is. I don't think there is anything that smells quite so sweet. 
Hatch of course I can hear saying three or four drules all at once, and 
everybody enjoying them in spite of it. I hope to see also my favorite judge 
sitting in his accustomed place surrounded by a galaxy of the legal talent. I 
propose to be present to hear the arguments, rebuttals and everything. Last 
year the bands played "There's a girl on a lark in Maryland," and this year 
they will play "Tipperary,"' with improvised words. I wager ten thousand to 
one. Are there any takers? 

Good Xicht. 

Jim Maury.

MAN "WITH A PUNCH"' 

GETS IMPORTANT CITY JOB 



Director Cooke Appoints W. L. McGee 
as Special Inspector. 

Director Cooke was looking for a man 
"with a punch" to fill an important job 
in the Department of Public Works. He 
got him. William L. McGee, of 3309 
Arch street, produced the "punch" and 
yesterday was appointed special inspec-

ton University by waiting at table and 
delivering newspapers. He was gradu- 
ated from Princeton in 1910. Then he

Dear Josh : 

Your ninety-ninth reminder about a letter for the 1909 Year Book has 
finally touched my heart and conscience — so here goes! 

In the first place, in order to soften any enmity which you may have 
toward me for having delayed so long, I have invested in a dozen tubes of 
"Dentacura" and every morning and evening I think of you as I zealously 
"ply the flying brush," as Roy Dickinson would say. In the second place, it 
seems almost incredible that you should unblushingly request a letter after

you had returned the photograph of the Medinas and the Brushes "en group," 
giving as the sole excuse that you thought you were much handsomer than 
the picture showed and that a contrary comment applied to me. 

To be serious, however, it is almost inconceivable that almost six solid 
years have flown by since we gathered around the cannon to hear our orators 
delve into our past and read our future. To look at one another now, old 
Father Time seems to have touched us but lightly. We all look about the 
same as we always did,— with such shining examples as Skinny Moshier, who 
is now competing with Fat Wagner for a job in the circus as the "famous fat 
fellow," but when we get back to the old burg and see what kids those pom- 
pous seniors really are, we begin to realize that we're moving along after all. 

There isn't any real news, certainly nothing interesting about myself, as I 
have just plodded along, trying to keep from tumbling into that rut they all 
talk about. Thus for I have kept out of the stock market, although Ted 
Slocum swears it's the only way to get rich, — c[uick or otherwise. 

By the way, I forgot, you can't really want any more dope about me after 
that genealogical, pathological, universal book of knowledge chart I've already 
sent in, can you ? That was an awful blow. It took me longer to think up 
dope to satisfy your inquisitiveness than I've spent in any one job in years, 
and my imagination hasn't recovered from the strain yet. 

Faithfully yours, 

Harold Medina.

Dear Josh : 

I don't know where your letter wandered to but it has just come to me. I 
hasten to answer. Your letter is covered with "unclaimed" and "return to 
writer" signs but finall}' came safel}'. 

You want me to write. I hesitate a great deal to know what to write. I 
had only one year with you. That one has meant and still means more than 
the other three of my college life. When I see one of your envelopes it is 
like a letter from home. Even the nicknames of the fellows are changed 
though I am a stranger. But never can that Princeton spirit and love, that was 
chased into me as I ran to recitations with a howl of "beat it" following me, 
or sneaked to some building in the evening scared of — I don't know what — 
be taken from me. I claim another college for Alma Mater — but I can't feel 
toward it like I do to Princeton. 

This is a confession I would hesitate to make usually, but I feel that that 
is due the rest of the fellows. I haven't been able to be at two reunions in 
one year and I have been with the class I graduated with but I am going to be 
tvith you soon — I am homesick for Princeton. 

Faithfully yours, 

E. A. Mewhinnev.

a b Vandergrift, Pa. 
c American Sheet and Tin Plate Co., Vandergrift, Pa. 
Metallurgy. 

Born in New York City on July 3, 1888. Son of Alexander Milne of 
Montrase, Scotland, and Jessie Black Milne of Fifeshire, Scotland. 

Prepared at Lawrenceville School. Entered Princeton in 1905, graduated 1909 
— fourth group. Member of Tower Club. 

Student in the Vandergrift Works of the American Sheet and Tin Plate 
Company, 1909-1911. Since then Assistant Metallurgist in same company. 
Member of Iroquois Club of Vandergrift. Married Florence May Clem- 
ens at Wheeling, W. Va., on Feb. 14, 191 1. 

"Reddy" attended our First, Third and Fifth Reunions. 

Vandergrift, Pa., July 20, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

The first thing that I want to say is, that our Fifth was the finest reunion 
that any class from any university could ever have and that it will always 
stand out as among the brightest spots of my life. It was especially a happy 
one to me, tied down as I am to work as I have been and unable to see 
an 'eg man but once in a long time. It was pretty nearly as hard to say the 
good-byes after this reunion as it was in June, 1909. Up till now I have had 
to miss a couple of Junes in Princeton but I hope that I will be one of those 
present each year from now on, and I will be, unless something unforseen 
comes up. 

You will find the pictures which I promised to send you, enclosed, and 
you can make use of any and all of them in any way you see fit. Was sorry 
not to be able to get one of the bunch in the tent, but it would have been some 
job to get them to keep still for one whole minute. In fact it would have been 
impossible. The view of the boat-house I thought you might like for youi; 
own collection. 

Am still at Vandergrift with the above company in the capacity of First 
Assistant to the Metallurgist. Our work consists in all manner of physical 
testing and microscopical examination of steel in 'both the laboratory and in 
the mill, along with the correction of the hundreds of faults which come up 
at all times. Also we do a lot of experimenting on a large scale in trying 
to devise new methods for producing better grades of steel sheets, greater 
tonnage, improving old methods and in trying to produce sheets for whatever 
the customers wish to make of them. The number of uses to which steel, in 
the form of sheets, is now put, is really unbelievable. Within the last six 
months the Metallurgist and myself, after working on it for about three 
years, have invented a new method of treating sheets which has opened up a 
business to this company of at least 25,000 tons a year. They are now looking 
up a patent on it. 

The work here requires very long hours and very faithful attention to 
business on my part, and recognition is slow, but as I am very much interested 



in the work I am glad to put in the best I have and look to the future for 
reward. My wife sometimes says, "My, I am glad that tomorrow is Sunday, 
because I will see something of you." I agree with her heartily, for there is 
many a time when I never even leave the mill for two days and a night, 
getting my meals in a small restauarant in the mill. 

There are a lot of '09 men in Pittsburgh and it isn't far from here, but my 
trips have been very few, but from now on I am going to make it a point to 
see some of them at least once every two or three months. 

Well, this has been an awfully long letter but as I don't get a great deal 
of time to write, I have to make up for it when the chance comes. 

Tell Mrs. Josh that we have heard of her work for '09 and there are 
lots of us who have never had the pleasure of meeting her, who wish to 
thank her for her share in giving us the best reunion ever. 

As ever, 

"Reddy" Milne.

Born Oct. 2^, 1886. Son of John Edwin Moore of Danville, Pa., and Matilda E. 
Murphy of Parksburg, Pa. Entered Princeton in 1905, graduated in 1909 
^third group. Member of Dial Lodge Club. In lumber business at above 
town since graduation. Married Miss Ethel Richardson in Philadelphia, 
Pa., in 1913. 

Ed attended our First and Third Reunions. 

Mountain Grove, (Bath Co.,) Va., April 13, 1915. 
Dear Josh : 

I have nothing startling to tell and not even a photograph to send. Until 
two years ago I was located at Beard, W. Va., trying to learn something of 
the business of manufacturing lumber. I kept the books, ran the commissary, 
and did various odd jobs around the saw mill and lumber yard. 

For the past two years I have been located at my present address. At 
first we had to cruise the timber, then get rights of ways for our railroad, 
and finally build the railroad, sawmill, houses, etc. It was a slow proposition, 
or semed to be, but last month we started to make lumber and everything 
is running merrily now. Our shipping point is White Sulphur, W. Va., which 
is forty miles from here and our nearest and most convenient station is Hot 
Springs, Va., eighteen miles away. So you see I am really in the woods, and 
it is a hard proposition to get out, especially when the roads are bad. 

Lew Wagman was here last November for a few days after which we 
attended the Yale game. Princeton men are very scarce in this section, so 
all 1909 men who read this are asked to let me know if they ever get to Hot 
Springs or to White Sulphur Springs, both places being, as you know, popular, 
all-the-year-round resorts. As we have about twenty thousand acres of 
timber I will be here for some years. 

It may be of interest to the fellows to know that I am a partner, in the 
firm — J. E. Moore Lumber Co. That sounds prosperous, but until the lumber 
market improves it means little financially. Class Memorial Committee, 
Alumni Associations, and others interested in collecting "Lincoln pennies" and 
"Buffalo nickels" please take notice. 

Am sorry I cannot find a snap shot to grace the pages of the Record 
and to show that the hairs of my head are numbered, but none is 
available. 

With best wishes to you and the class, I am. 

Sincerely yours, 

Ed Moore.

My dear Josh : 

My delay in writing you a letter for the fifth year book has been due more 
to modesty than to any inattention to yo.ir many requests. I am afraid my 
expansion since leaving Princeton will not compare favorably with that of 
those who have taken unto themselves a wife, and can now boast of three 
or more future Princetonians. I have not been so fortunate in that one 
respect. 

My lot has been cast with the Textile business — bleaching, dyeing and 
finishing cotton goods, with the Joseph Bancroft & Sons Company of Wil- 
mington, Del. For three years I worked in the mill as an apprentice — pulling 
trucks, operating machinery, etc., in fact, doing everything worth while to 
gain experience. At the present time 1 am in the operating end of 
the Rockford plant where all Colors and Blacks are finished. I fairly love 
my work; I sometimes feel that I am a little selfish with my love as T have 
little to spare for outside affairs, as a result of which I am enjoying single 
blessedness, if it might be so called. Stop your smiling. Josh ! At any rate, 
what is a fellow going to do when all the girls in his own town give the pass 
word "Yes" to better looking gazaboes who come from other ports. Carleton 
Adams may have some idea to that which I allude. 

I seldom run mto any of the Class of igog, but I want to say right here, if 
any one of the boys is down in this section the latch string is always hanging 
out. 

I haven't any real interesting news to give you or the rest of the boys, 
because I haven't made much history in the past five years. 

I am looking forward to the big dinner later on in the winter, and if all 
goes well, you can certainly count on me. 

Sincerely yours, 

Herbert S. Morrow.

"Mose" attended our Fifth Reunion. This is his "book of life"' : 

Washington, D. C, Oct. 25, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

I hope here is one of those good solid, substantial letters you so ardently 
desire. Mark Twain says that anyone who writes an autobiography of himself 
becomes a consumate liar during its composition but I assure you. Josh, I will 
try to be an exception to the rule and come as closely as possible to the truth. 
This letter will sail on giving the momentous history of Orville W. Mosher, 
Jr., to date. I want to make it just as interesting as I can so I wish any 
of our class who read this letter written this evening the twenty-fifth of 
October nineteen hundred and fourteen in the St. James Hotel in Washing- 
ton, D. C, would rivet their attention on several ideas which I have for the 
benefit of the class and the University and if they like them I wish they 
would write and tell me so. 

To begin with five years have not produced any change, in me unless perhaps 
the rounding out of that magnificent physique which I always possessed and 
the deepening of a soul already remarkable for more than ordinary beautv. It 
is impossible to improve on perfection, so why tamper with the rose. I can 
see a 'broad grin on the countenances of my roommates, Harry Trimble, 
Freddy Funk, A. V. S. Olcott Benedict, Plunkett, Mary Groenoveldt, Jack 
Colborn and others I could mention when they read the above. 

To continue, the last five years have slipped by like a dream, some good 
dreams and some pretty darn poor ones. When I left Princeton that morn- 
ing in June, my roommates, my father and mother and T motored to Xew 
York where we stayed a few days then went up to Boston stayed up at the 
beaches there with- my brother Victor '04 and then father, my brother 
Frank, Mr. McNally and I took an automobile trip all the way home from 
Boston to Xew Richmond, Wis., equivalent to a ride from Boston to St. 

203 



Paul. The ride was uneventful but in the party was Mr. McXally a lawyer of 
considerable note in Wisconsin and it was my association with him that was 
to influence to a large extent the course I was to pursue for the next four 
years, not that it matters so very much to any one but myself what course I 
pursued but this is a history of what happened to me, a regular heart to heart 
talk with 3^ou boys whom I know have as deep an interest in my welfare as 
my own parents have so that I can talk to you with a great deal of freedom. 
It was a question what I should do to earn my living and as I had always 
admired Mr. McNally as a lawyer, and admired the profession because of the 
control of public affairs a good lawyer ultimately acquires I entered Mr. 
McNally's offices as a clerk, read Blackstone, swept out the office made collec- 
tions, and taught school during the coming year from 1909 to 1910. I also 
organized a high school cross country team and took my exercise that way 
and skieing in the winter. In the summer of 1910 it was decided I was to go 
to Harvard Law School as Mr. McXally said I showed indications of a "legal 
colored mind," and Elmendorf Rankin and several other 'ogers would be there 
to meet me, and so they were. Elmendorf and I roomed in 84 Perkins Hall, 
the third story and looked down on the tennis courts and the legal grind 
began. I was intensely interested in the law and passionately anxious to do 
well in it, for my family's sake and 'because I wanted to be the very best 
lawyer I knew how to be, for the sake of serving the community, I was to 
practice in as they ought to be served, and then I suppose there was the 
more or less selfish desire of gaining wisdom so that sometime I would 
become a great man, a Judge of the Supreme Court or maybe President as a 
worthy successor of Mr. Wilson in whose class we have all been. Whatever 
the causes were, I was tremendously ambitious to amount to something. We 
all of us have the same feelings I suppose, though we do not often speak of 
them. 

And so I went at it hammer and tongs got hold of a typewriter and spent 
long hours working on my notes. I found a very very brilliant company of 
young men there, almost all Phi Beta Kappa and influenced with an ambi- 
tion though not spoken, which simply charges the atmosphere at Harvard 
Law School — nearly all that first year worked with the hopes of 'being taken 
onto the Laz\.' Reviczv, which was supposed to contain on its board the best 
legal talent of the school. I had always suffered extreme embarrassment in 
speaking on my feet, that handicapped me as it did so many others, and right 
here I will digress and say a few words about an idea which would be for 
the good of Princeton. 

Every Princeton man should come out of the University an apt and ready 
speaker as unabashed in speaking before a hundred or a thousand as before 
his roommates. Self consciousness can be eliminated by training and it ought 
to be a compulsory part of university training to get every single student at 
ease on his feet. Out of our class do you think there were more than twenty- 
five who could make an acceptable talk of ten minutes duration if called to do 
so in Alexander Hall before a company of a thousand? I think not. Isn't 
it an inspiring thing to see a young fellow on his feet unafraid giving a well 
rounded talk? Wouldn't we like to see the coming generation of Prince- 

204 



tonians do that? I would like to see this class direct its energies towards in- 
ducing the university to -make "speaking in public" a compulsory part of the 
course for four years as an essential method of education. 

This slogan sounds to me a good one "Every Princetonian an apt and 
ready speaker." The training in "speaking on the feet"' before the public 
could be acquired readily by having the student give talks to the class on 
different subjects with the class and teacher acting as critics. I wish any 
who likes my idea would write me now at Richmond, Wis., what they think 
of it, and any who do not care for the idea I wish would explain why and give 
valuable criticism. 

The work at Harvard Law School was very fascinating, the best teachers 
in the world are there with a wonderful library and equipment and the con- 
flict of mind with the training in inductive thinking we had there was the 
best thing a young fellow could have. There is this criticism of the school 
to be made however, it was overcrowded and they rushed us too fast, — there 
were so many that the chance of being called on were in all the classes com- 
bined were only twice a week so we did not have the training of daily mental 
conflict with our teachers that we ought to have had, the law clubs gave us 
good practice, I took part in all the required cases in the George Gray Law 
Club, of which 1 was a member. This club by the way is named after Judge 
George Gray, an eminent Princeton graduate. In the second year I was 
secretary of the organization and wrote a history of its existence for the last 
flfteen years which is read as a matter of custom at each yearly banquet 
when all the members come together for a good time. I also took courses in 
public speaking under Professor Winter and got so that I could speak fairly 
well and once or twice gave what Professor Winter considered speeches of 
more than ordinary merit. This much for a few triumphs, but in general 
I found the study of Law very hard. The periods of examination were times 
of great mental strain — I can see the boys now — the June nights red hot — 
interleaving paper so sticky it stuck to our fingers hour after hour arguing 
the subject of how to follow the equitable res, four of us together hammering 
it out — it was very hard, everything depended on the examination and yet I 
chink I can safely say I loved the struggle with the law. 

The third year came there was now not more than a third of the number 
we entered with, many having dropped out one way or another — it meant 
something merely to have weathered the gale through to the final year at 
least Dean Thayer said so and we all believed it — for my part T looked for- 
ward to my third year particularly as we were to have the great subjects of 
Conflict of Laws, Constitutional Law and Corporations under the greatest 
teachers and I was in a position to look forward to getting my degree and 
I came back happy as it is possible for mortal to be at the prospect of another 
year of strong work. I was in every way at the height of my powers with 
everything to look forward to when on Thanksgiving Night of my third 
year, one of those peculiar things happened which leads me to think there is 
a Divinity who shapes our ends roughhew them as we may. I shan't go into 
any details but sui^ce it to say, I had several shocks which resulted in a nerv- 
ous breakdown. I attempted to study, hoping that it was temporary, but the 

205 



doctors advised me to go home. So 1 did, before the third year closed, and 
was ordered into the open air so 1 worked on a concrete dam father was 
building. Perhaps you fellows don't think carrying rocks for concrete work 
to get back my health was fun, while the rest of the boys were getting their 
diplomas back at Harvard. 

During the past year it was found that while my general health was fair, 
I was in no condition to go into a law office, but that I ought to stay out doors 
as much as possible, so I went to work for the Grand Forks Lumber Co. with 
my brother Victor '04, who is manager of the company with which I am now 
associated. It was during this period that the amusing incident which affiliated 
me with the Sioux Indian tribe took place and which you have all enjoyed. 

Since our wonderful reunion in June, I decided to travel and make a care- 
ful study of the history of the United States with the hopes of entering the 
teaching profession after a time. In this way I have been to almost all the 
points of historical interest in the Eastern and middle states and am now on 
my way South along the lines of 'battle followed during our Civil War. Get- 
tysburg, Antietam, Winchester, Frederick, Chambersburg and will go South 
through Georgia and Florida through the winter, returning to Grand Forks 
Lumber Company in the spring. On my trip I have met Lew Wagman, 
Norman Mackie, Bill Prizer, Leonard Richardson, Fischer Eherhardt, Mauls- 
by at Frederick and Spencer Gordon and LaRoe here in Washington, all of 
whom are doing remarkably well. And so my history closes — I have given 
up the law not from choice but from necessity and have adopted a new con- 
structive program which I hope I can point to with pride after five more 
years. I am going to teach History and bring into play the idea I suggested 
sometime back in this letter of getting the students in my classes to speak 
easily on their feet. Dr. Hibben has written me a very enthusiastic letter 
about my idea and as soon as I have got it to working satisfactorily in some 
smaller school he holds out the hope of my coming back to Princeton as a 
teacher. 

There have been one or two minor chords in this letter for I have been up 
against it, but this melancholy minor is pretty cheap stuff and I hope Josh 
you will succeed in keeping it out of our book as much as possible. Several of 
the class books I have read are burdened with sickening melancholy so 
let us keep all of our '09 publications bright and happy no matter what 
happens. 

Before I close I wish to give a suggestion as to reunions and dinners 
which I think is a valuable one for our class and a very pretty custom. If 
the chairman or head of the dinner committee should say prior to beginning 
the banquet something like this : "As we are all here thinking of Princeton 
it would be a nice thing to show our appreciation before commencing our 
banquet by sending to the Secretary and Treasurer of the University the sum 
of $10.00 which we can easily raise by adding a quarter each to the banquet 
price. I am sure this would appeal strongly. Isn't that so ? Make it an '09 
custom at every meeting to donate something substantial. 

Hoping to see you all at the next wonderful reunion, 
I am your classmate, 

Oeville W. Mosher, Jr.

Los Angeles, Cal., April 9, 191 5. 
Dear Josh : 

I will try and give you what is left of my life history after filling in the 
numerous blanks. The statistics for the General Biographical Record I had 

208 



already sent in. The questions asked at least accomplish one thing. One is 
compelled to take a mental inventory which may not be as satisfactory as it 
might be and may see things in a different light than formerly. 

After graduating from the Pennsylvania Law School in 1912, I was 
admitted to practice in Pennsylvania and then came to California and was 
admitted here in Los Angeles where I have been in practice since. Cobb 
is following the same profession here and Jennings in San Diego, Driver, 
Hunt, and Johnson, are here in the city. Hollowbush is in San Diego. 

We are expecting quite a few Princeton men to be out this way for the 
Fairs. In San Francisco, headquarters will be at Old Faithful Inn and here 
in Los Angeles at the New Rosslyn Hotel. A Register will be kept at these 
places and information obtained for locating Princeton men here. 

We had a visit from Dean West this winter. He spoke before the different 
schools and made a very favorable impression. We are a long way from 
Princeton and such a visit bring us out here in closer touch with things. 

We will be very glad to see '09 men coming this way and will try and stage 
a reunion of some kind. I fear I shall not make the big doings in June, but 
surely felt repaid for the trip last year. 

I still belong in the bachelor class so am not sending pictures, etc. 

Would like very much to hear from you if you ever get time. 

MULLIE.

Born in Pittsburgh, Pa., on June 7, 1886. Son or Philip Brown Murray of 
Pittsburgh, Pa., and Charlotte Matilda Eberhardt of New York City. 

Prepared at Piqua High School. Entered Princeton in 1905, graduated in 
1909 — third group. Class Baseball Team. Member of Elm Club. 

Taught English in Holbrook School, 1909-1911. Attended Harvard Law 
School, 1911-1912. Employed in machine shop of American Locomotive 
Company at Schenectady, N. Y., in 1912. Reporter on Boston Herald, 
1913. At present engaged in the steel and iron business in the American 
Rolling Mills at Middletown, Ohio 

"Tug" attended our Second and Fifth Reunions. 

October 18, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

For the past year I have been working in this city with the American 
Rolling Mill Company, endeavoring to get a practical working knowledge of 
the iron and steel industry. My own work has been that of a real laboring 
man, working eleven hours a day one week and thirteen hours a night the next. 
Pushing heavy trucks of iron about and lifting 150 pound bundles of iron is 
one of easiest things I do. 

In my spare moments I have looked after the details of running a baseball 

209 



league of which I happen to be president. This league is made up strictly 
of the workmen of the American Rolling Mill Company and consists of six 
department teams. The players have shown much enthusiasm and a fine spirit 
in the league games, some of which were marked by the exhibition of first 
class baseball. 

Now that the baseball season is over, I am interesting myself in church 
work and often "warble" in the church choir. Nuf ced ! 

There are several Princeton 'ogers in this vicinity but I have scarcely time 
to visit them. They likewise are too busy for visiting and the only oppor- 
tunity left for seeing classmates is that Big Reunion Week. Certainly it was 
a real treat for me to attend our Fifth last June. To loaf around for a few 
days each year with so many friends in Princeton Town, to chat with class- 
mates, to go over the same old walks, is the surest way of maintaining all 
the warm feelings for Princeton. 

I saw Bob Lupfer for a few hours in Springfield recently and we indulged 
in a good "bicker" about business and Princeton, "half and half" — makes a 
very good "bicker." 

In this letter I have tried very hard to become very "chatty" as you 
suggested, 'but I cannot and even if I did, it would be extremely tiresome to 
the friendly readers of the Fifth Year Class Record. 

With best wishes to you, etc., I am. 

As ever, 

"Tug" Murray.

January 18. 
Dear Josh : 

I am sorry I kept you waiting, but it was not entirely carelessness. I had 
to wait some time to get figures from the family for "Wilkie" Collins' dope 
sheet. Now that that has gone in, I guess all you want is the fifth year blank 



which I enclose. I didn't answer the post card, not because I hate statistics — 
I do — but because I couldn't give you any. I was in the Graduate School 
three years after we left Princeton and tutoring was all you could call income. 
Then I rambled around Europe for a winter and spring with no income at all. 
So the card was out of the question. 

I am sorry not to get down to the dinner next month. It's a long time since 
I've been to one, but it's a long way to Tipperary from Aurora Borealis and the 
business trips that I have to make don't hit that date. 

All sorts of good luck to you. 

Sincerely yours, 

Butler Murray.

"Frank" attended our first four Reunions. 



New York, Nov. 25, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

It was quite an easy matter to till out the questionnaire. I did that within 
the time limit of forty-eight hours, but when I came to the request for a 
"good 'breezy letter"' I discovered that I had no such thing in my system so I 
laid everything aside for the time being in the hope that later some rare 
moment of inspiration would come to my assistance. It did not come, how- 
ever, although weeks have elapsed. This morning I was accidently reminded 
of the whole affair again and when I picked up your "please read thoroughly" 
document almost the first thing I saw was : 

"What kind of a class would my class be 
If every member were just like me?" 
It had a peculiarly personal application that was not altogether pleasant 
so I have resolved to pass up your "good breezy letter" suggestion or rather 
leave it for such brilliants as Spencer Gordon, Harry Trimble and Eddie 
Annin to act upon, and substitute a simple statement of a few of my experi- 
ence since our triennial reunion. 

My trip abroad stands out as quite an event for me. For a number of 
years during and immediately following undergraduate days I had hoped to 
take this trip, but circumstances following kept side tracking me so persist- 
ently that I had quite given up the idea when the opportunity came during 
the summer of 1913 through the New York Child Welfare Committee. The 
Union of International Associations in Brussels purchased material from the 
Committee for the International Exposition in Ghent and it was my good 
fortune to be sent to Ghent in connection with this transaction. By arranging 
for my vacation and for a little extra time I was able to be away nine weeks. 
After traveling through Scotland and England I met a couple of friends, two 
Dartmouth students, in London. From there we went on to Paris and then 
to Lucerne, Switzerland, from where the three of us started on a 72-mile 
walk across the Alps to Interlaken. Our next jump was to Munich where we 
browsed around for a couple of days and then went on to Nurnberg. Here 
we rented bicycles and started on a 100 mile trip to Rothenberg and back again. 
Dresden was our next big city and then Bsrlin where we camped down for a 
week before leaving for Amsterdam and ten days among the Dutch fishing vil- 
lages. Before returning to England I went down to Paris for another week. 
My next and last stop was London where I remained five days before sailing 
from Southampton. 

This last summer was also one of unusual interest for me. After a 
wedding June the 3rd, for which I was at least partly responsible, Mrs. 
Myers and I spent the month of June on Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hamp- 
shire, part of the month of July on Lake Hopatcong and the month of August 
on an iioo mile automobile trip through Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia. 
We are now living in Newark and let me say right here to any "Ought Niner" 
who happens to be passing this way that thig is a definite invitation to stop 
off to see us. 

You might judge from what I have said so far that I had suddenly and 
luckily struck a bonanza, but I assure you that nothing of the kind has 



happened, and is not likely to, for I am still engaged in social work. For 
almost two years I have been the Executive Secretary of the Xew York Child 
Welfare Committee. Our survey, exhibit and lecture work offers unusual 
opportunities to become familiar with the economic, social and civic life of 
New York which is not only the largest city in the world, but is also a place 
in which more new and big things are conceived and executed than in any 
other city in the world. It is an inspiration to have a part in the plans that 
express her aspirations even though that part is a small one. 

With kindest regards and very best wishes to you and through you to all 
the boys, I am. 

Sincere!-}^, 

Frank C. Myers.

Dear Josh : 

Have just finished filling out the "second notice" and it surely looks as 



though your records are quite inquisitive to say the least. Of course, not 
that they are not welcome to all I can give, but they go too deep, even, for 
me to till them out in some spots with any degree of assurance. 

I suppose you have been swamped for some time with letters for the Class 
Book. I have seen several invitations to write same in the Weekly and have 
been on the verge once or twice of joining the throng, but each time have 
decided that I could think of nothing out this way that would be of interest 
for a compilation of that sort, and have therefore refrained. 

I was East for a few days on a hurried business trip last fall, but did 
not have an opportunity to stay long nor to look up many of the fellows. 
Stopped over Sunday, however, with Pop Silvers who drove me over to 
Princeton to look the old stand over for an hour or so. I don't suppose 
you can realize how much good it does a fellow living clear out in this neck 
of the woods to get back there to Princeton and see the old familiar places 
together with the wonderful improvements that go on from year to year! 
Well I'll tell you there's nothing quite like it, unless it is meeting some of 
"the old bunch," and taking the two together there is nothing that will quite 
equal it. 

Suppose you have all heard and read some wild and terrible tales about 
the "Disgrace of Colorado" which took place last year down here in the 
mining district. Well, I assure you it really was bad enough, but don't think 
it was quite as bad as reported in the East, and anyway, we're most of us still 
alive and thriving out here and have one of the best states of the Union to 
live in after all ! 

Well, I must stop for the time being. Best luck and wishes to you, as well 
as to any other "Oughty Niners" whom you happen to see from time to time. 

Yours sincerely, 

"Nick."

sionary representing the American Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis- 
sions and the Central Presbyterian Church of New York City, at the 
Mission Station at Hwai Yuen, China. Married ^Nliss Margaret Beebe at 
Nanking, China, in March, 1915. 

Frank attended our First and Fourth Reunions. 



Nanking, China, Feb. 29, 1914.. 
My dear Josh : 

I have made an heroic effort and have gotten up at six o'clock to write to 
you for the Class Fifth Annual. I am enclosing a snapshot which gives a little 
local color. It is a picture of the Missionary and one of the students in the 
boys' school. They are seated on a stone horse, which is one of several 
monuments approaching the grave of some famous general. In the back 
ground is the Chinese girl carrying her small brother on her back, and another 
little beggar, whom I am sure is about to ask the Missionary for a tung-goh 
(a half-cent). 

I have never been so happy in any work that I have ever done. Of course, 
it keeps me busy, but it's worth while. This year I am studying in the Lan- 
guage School from 8.30 to 4.00 with time out for lunch. From 4-6, I take 
my exercise, which is usually several sets of tennis or a game of soccer with 
the Chinese boys at either the Seminary or University. From 7.30-8.30 in 
the evening I have my especial Hwai Yuen teacher. From 8.30-9.30, I am 
teaching English to some boys who are coming to America this fall to 
enter college. They have a good reading and speaking knowledge of English 
and so we are studying Sociology together. 

Just give my very best to any of my friends who happen to remember me. 
May our Fifth Reunion be the best yet and a real success. 

Most sincerely, 

Frank S. Niles.

New York, Oct. 19, 1914. 
My Dear Josh : 

As to my progress in a business way there is little to add to my letter in the 
Triennial Record, except that I am now living in New Haven with Connecti- 
cut as my territory and am thoroughly enjoying it while making some pro- 
gress. My work does not bring me into contact with the undergraduate life 
of Yale University, of course, but I have come to know a great many gradu- 
ates, faculty members and officers of the University in a business and social 
way, and they have certainly made every effort to make me feel at home in 
the home of the bull dog. I have recently been admitted to resident member- 
ship in the Graduate Club where Princeton is represented by five or six men. 

I have been devoting myself entirely to business and can not show a record 
of unselfish work along social or religious lines, or productive literary effort, 
like so many members of the class. 

Perhaps you have read, as I did, with real enjoyment, the little book "Medi- 
tation of a Young Man" (Houghton Mifflin Co.), being a collection of diary 
entries written by Gage Olcott and published since his death by his father. As 
a revelation of a depth and clarity of thought and expression, which probably 
his best friends in the class little suspected, they are very interesting indeed. 
In reading them one is forced to the conclusion that we have probably not 
appreciated fully more than a small percentage of the men with whom we 
lived intimately for four years in Princeton. This little book is surely a very 
real contribution to the record being made by our class. 

Beginning May i, I will be associated m the investment banking business 
with H. D. Robbins, 43 Exchange Place, having resigned from N. W. Halsey & 
Co. with whom I have been associated since graduation. My address will be 
either the Graduate Club, New Haven, or 71 College Street, New Haven, the 
latter being a new Apartment House next to the Hotel Taft, and hence easy 
to find if any members of the class should find themselves in this village at 
any time. 

On March i, I became President of The Colony Advertising Company, 
which has offices at 2 Rector Street, Nev/ York, and in The Chamber of 
Commerce Building, 185 Church Street, New Haven. In the New Haven 
office we have, in active charge of the business, Mr. William Flagg, Yale, 1912, 
formerly of the Yale Alumni Weekly and Yale Revieiv. My connection with 
the company is of course, merely administrative as my entire time is required 
in the bond business. 

There is no more news about myself that would be of any interest here. I 
am not married as yet. but have not entirely given up hope. I will surely be 
on hand in June and if I can help in any way I hope you will call on me. So 
far my efforts in behalf of the class have been very small indeed, probably be- 
cause others like yourself have 'been so willing to carry the entire burden. 

Wishing you all success in your new venture. 

Sincerely yours, 

Edward C. Olds.

Bill attended our First, Third and Fifth Reunions. 

Philadelphia, Pa., April 16, 1915. 
Dear Josh : 

The Alumni Weekly reminds me that I have been very negligent in not 
sending you the letter for the Fifth Year Record of 1909. 

The faculty and trustees of the University of Pennsylvania granted me an 
LL.B. in June, 191-4, and in September, 1914, the Supreme Court of Pennsyl- 
vania gave me a certificate entitling me to practice law in Pennsylvania. 
After being duly enrolled in the various courts, "Bob" Sterrett '07, took me 
in his law office, where I have been ever since, interviewing clients, preparing 
legal papers, writing letters, and occasionally appearing in the various courts. 

Last fall the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, saw fit to 
appoint me as instructor of Political Science, and in that capacity 1 have 
been attempting to teach some of the Freshmen various points of Constitu- 
tional Law, including various Acts of Congress, such as the Sherman Act, 
Pure Food Laws, etc. 

Iri connection with my legal work, I have been one of the associate at- 
torneys of the Legal Aid Society of Philadelphia, and have had lots of fun 
and gained much experience thereby. Wnerever any applicants are able to 
pay a small fee they are sent to the associate attorneys, who also handle a 
number of the charity cases. One of the Legal Aid cases involved the ques- 
tion of a recent State law, and I got "Joe" Chapman '04 to help. The case 
came up for a hearing, and about fifteen minutes before the court opened the 
client failed to put in an appearance at the office. Joe said we needed him, 
and I requisitioned the auto of a physician whom I had brought into the 
case. When we arrived at the client's "house," he was in bed, and didn't 
want to bother! The object of the action was to put his step-daughter in an 
institution for the feeble-minded, and when we told him the girl might not 
be admitted unless he came, with the added inducement of the auto ride, 
we got him into court, and won the case. 

In another case, a colored client named Lizzie wanted me to get after her 
alleged first husband who had taken unto himself a second wife in the State of 
Delaware. She was able to pay a fee and I collected the large sum of a V dollar

and traveled 200 miles, getting only the cost of said mileage out of her, and 
have spent a full week of time, and the case isn't over yet. Besides that I 
rang in "Clammy" Southerland, Esq., ex-'oQ of Wilmington, Del., and a few 
others, besides the Attorney General of the Diamond State. 

The Legal Aid Society was sending me a client who was able to pay a 
small fee, and when he was leaving the Society's office, he was heard to say, 
"Well, if I have to pay a fee, I might as v/ell get a regular lawyer." 

Well, Josh, enough of this. I might add that before another year rolls by I 
hope to be classified in your statistics as one of the '09 married men. If my 
fiancee sees this she might say, "Bill" you ought to have out that first," but 
my reply is that I'm saving the best for the last. 

Yours for '09, 

Bill Ottinger.

Jim attended our Third, Fourth and Fifth Reunions. 

Dear Josh : 

I am going to follow directions just as well as I can and tell about myseli, 
for that's what I want the other fellows to do and I'll take a chance on 
flattermg myself that maybe there are a few who would like me do the same. 

It was only "After Three Years Out" that I really started to get out, for 
like so many of our class, I had spent those years still going to school. In 
July, 1912, I had the good fortune to pass my bar examinations and was sub- 
sequently admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania 
and the Orphans Court and Common Pleas Courts of Philadelphia. I trust 
my lay classmates will pardon this detail, but I thought it might interest my 
professional brethren in Xew York and some of the other states to know that 
in Pennsylvania we are admitted by each Court separately and indeed there is 
still an intermediate State Court to which I haven't yet sought admittance. I 
hope none of them will envy us the great number of certificates of admission, 
which fall to our lot, but if they do perhaps I can temper their jealousy, when 
I remind them that we have to pay handsomely for each. 

Since then I have been practicing law in Philadelphia in the same office 
in which I had been registered as a student, while we were still undergradu- 
ates at Princeton. I am specializing very largely however, in the drafting of 
legislation in connection with the work of the Legislative Drafting Research 
Fund of Columbia L^niversity and if anyone is sufficiently interested to turn to 
the second page of the vitagraphs in "After Three Years" he may see a 
slightly obscured picture of a portion of the noble building in which is tucked 
away my Xew York office. Indeed some of our Columbia Law men may 

227 



recognize it (302 Library) as an old classroom in which they started the 
study of the law before the completion of Kent Hall in which our main 
ofifice is now located. Someone may ask whether this line of work isn't dry 
and academic, to which I would answer no, most emphatically. I have had a 
share in drafting work in connection with the Tax Law and the Labor Law 
in New York and with the recommendations of a Federal Commmission and 
of an important Commmittee of the House at Washington and believe me, it 
is just as interesting and practical work as can be found in any kind of 
practice. 

But enough of talking shop. I have done a few other things, including 
attending the last three Reunions, but not including getting married, or even 
thinking about it. I was one of the fortunate ones who got to Washington 
in March, 1913, and right here I want to take this opportunity of once again 
expressing my appreciation of the royal hospitality of the Washington 
Alumni. That reception on the eve of the Inauguration was without ex- 
ception the most wonderful Princeton gathering I ever attended or hope to 
attend, and I have attended some few too, for as a primary school youngster 
I heard Grover Cleveland speak at the Sesqui-Centennial in 'q6 and as a high 
school boy, I heard Woodrow deliver that memorable Inaugural Address on 
"Princeton for the Nation's Service" in 1902. You see when you are fortunate 
enough to be the son of a Princeton man you are just sort of naturally 
brought up on Princeton. 

Last year I didn't get a chance to take a vacation, but this year I more than 
made up for it and squeezed in three of four fine trips, including several 
weeks in New Hampshire. Three of us spent a week tramping through the 
White Mountains and among other things climbed Mount Washington over 
the Northern Peaks and Gulf side Trail on the Fourth of July. In fact we 
climbed Washington once and a half that day, for after we reached the 
summit we went down a couple of thousand feet to the massive snow arch in 
Tuckerman's Ravine. We didn't see or hear any crackers or fire-works, 
but we did celebrate the day with a snowball fight. 

Best wishes to everybody. 

Sincerely, 

J. Craig Peacock.

Dear Tosh : 

I know I have been a good while trying to write to you, but am finally mak- 
ing the attempt ; not for publication but simply to let you know how much your 
efforts are appreciated. I only wish it were in my power to write a big, 
long "drule" and then help in making up that big Fifth Year Book. 

It has often occurred to me what a great thing it is for us to have a reunion 
every year ; it is something to look forward to each year — ^something so much 
diiTerent from any other anticipated 'big time. I am inclosing a couple of little 
prints to show you how much our "young hopeful" is imbued with the spirit 
of Princeton. Even if she is not a boy she will make a loyal Princeton sup- 
porter. You will see she is very much in favor of the "big tent" on a 
small scale. 

229 



Remember me to any nought-niners you may meet. 
Hoping you and yours are all enjoying good health, I remain, 
Yours with best of wishes, 

Frank S Perrine.

Dear Josh : 

There are no details personal or impersonal in my life ; the dead flat calm 
has been broken only in my wild attempts to be tactful in gathering the 
information, such as ages, etc., for your "encyclopedia." 

My sheet is very untidy but it is hard to express nothingness. The blank- 
ness of many of the spaces proves how vain the attempts to give me a 
biography and coming generations of students of the "Lives of Princeton 
Men" will cast a tear on my unmarked unspotted page, as they whisper 
"Thank God for one member of '09 who was too stupid, lazy and wise to 
become famous !" 

Yours sincerely, 

Spencer W. Phraner.

Miss Margaret Dice in Reading, Pa., on Oct. 21, 1913. 
Bill has attended all our Reunions. 

Two years ago a record of the activities of the members of 1909 was 
distributed. It was read with enthusiasm and interest — and, because of the 
willing co-operation of every one with our energetic and capable Secretary, 
was a decided success. 

233 



Now comes the complete record of the doings of those, with whom we 
spent our four happiest years, after five years in the "cold, cold, world." 
Again 1509 has stepped forward with enthusiasm to help its hard working 
Secretary — and the results you see here, in hook form. The officers are 
confident that appreciation will be evidenced by an over-subscription to this 
interesting and necessary table of facts. 

Your President takes this opportunity to thank every member of igog for 
his enthusiastic co-operation in the past with Roy Dickinson and Hatch 
Treadwell in one of our most successful branches, that of entertaining; with 
Jack Surbrug, Treasurer, in the handling of the Class funds ; with Harry 
Osborn, Chairman of the Memorial Committee ; with Josh Brush, Secretary, 
who has held us together, more firmly cemented through the five years since 
graduation, than at the time we were graduated ; and to thank you for your 
co-operation with Newt. Cass, Vice-President — and with me — who feel the 
fine incentive to work when supported by such enthusiasm. All that I can 
ask is that the future may be as bright for 1909 as the past has been. The 
members alone can make it so by showing their enthusiasm in answering 
Class correspondence promptly, and being present at every meeting of the 
Class. The Officers can do nothing without your help. 

Let us strive for success. Our individual success in the world will have a 
twofold advantage — to us individually and to the Class and Princeton col- 
lectively. Let us have this goal in view — that of giving to 1909 a National 
reputation, such as has been attained by a certain Class of Princeton ; so that 
when they step out igo9 will take their place. 

The wish and hope of your Offxers is for the success and happiness 
of all in the years to come. 

Bill Prizer.

Marienfeld Plantation, Samarcand, N. C, Dec. 6, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

I admire your perseverance and condemn the delay of such creatures as 
myself. But really this life of teaching on a southern plantation is not con- 
ducive to letter writing. 

This is a new school founded by Dr. Henderson, a well known educator. 
Its object is to give boys a wholesome out of door life, and as much freedom 
as possible. It is a question whether the American boy can stand his freedom. 
For he is prone to turn liberty into license. There is an interesting group of 
boys here, and a congenial lot of masters, so that, although we do not see 
much of the outside world, life "s very pleasant. 

As for my record since June, 1909, is can be summed up as a "rolling 
stone." I have found it impossible to get back to a single reunion since 
graduation and have not seen a Yale Football Game since 1912. However, 
I have had the joy of seeing the new Stadium. 

Very sincerely, 

Hewitt Reynolds.

West Pawlet, Vt, Jan. iS, 1915. 
Dear Josh : 

I suppose that I am one of the last ones to get a letter off to you and to 
fill out the statistic blanks which you mailed to us some two months ago, and 
probably no one has thought about doing it more times than I. While this 
might be done in a very short time if one would only attend to it, there is a 
sort of a dread attached to it that makes us postpone it from one time to 
another and at the same time keep trying the patience of our faithful 
Secretary. 

I presume writing such letters is no effort for some of our fellow class- 
mates who received the A.B. degree, but when it comes to those of us who 
were proteges of Freddie, Bum and H-S, I wish to inform you that it is quite 
a different matter. 

Isolated as I am up here among the green hills of Vermont, it is very 
seldom that I have the pleasure of seeing many of the boys of 1909. Among 
those who occasionally drift into town are Earl Holsapple, Jimmie Breese, 
Clab Holden and Charlie Vezin. Charlie blows in about once a month (you 
know he is in the bond business also amateur theatricals and is located in 
Troy). He makes his regular business trips in a high powered car which I 
believe is imported from Detroit, Mich., and in his last report he stated 
they were turning out a new car every minute and that he expected to get a 
rebate on the purchase price of his car. 

After leaving Princeton in 1909, I took a position in a bank in Granville, 
N. Y. They assigned no title to my position at that time, but I think the 
familiar title of ''draft clerk," might be well applied to it. I remained in the 
banking business until April, 1912, when I resigned as Assistant Cashier , 
my reason 'being that I thought that those who need positions higher than I 
would all outlive me. After resigning my position from the bank, I decided 
to go into the mining and manufacturing of roofing slate, which occupation I 
have since followed and probably will for the rest of my born days. I 
enjoy my work very much and feel that the only way one can make a suc- 
cess of his business is to try and make it a pleasure rather than a drudgery. 

The following June I was married but as you know it was but for a short 
time. 

Josh I want to take this opportunity to pay the reunion committee 
a compliment on the successful Fifth Reunion we had last June. I never 
spent a more pleasant two days than I did in Princeton from Friday P. M. 
until Sunday P. M., last June, and when I left, I felt a great deal as I 
imagine the horse feels leaving the burning barn. 

At the time you sent a request for a letter for our Third Year Book, you 
probably remember that mine didn't materialize, but when I received the book 
and found so many letters from the different fellows it was as good as a per- 
sonal letter from each one. I decided then and there that if our Secretary 
made another request from me and it was within my power, I would grant it. 

The geneological blank I have not filled out as I mailed one direct to the 
University Secretary last year. I might take this opportunity to let you 



241 



know that it did not take very long to iill out the income card which you 
will also find enclosed. With best regards to all the boys of 1909, I am, 
Most sincerely yours, 

Sim Rising.

December 13, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

I am sorry to be among those whom you have to prod, in each successive 
number of the JVcckly, in order to extract a letter. Now at last I am deter- 
mined to let go a six thousand work thesis, on which I have been laboring" 
until a few minutes ago, and not take it up again until I have finished this 
account of myself. 

In speaking of theses you will see that I have become a student again. I 
am at Harvard, doing graduate v/ork in History. It is something I had long 
planned to do as soon as I could earn the wherewithals, and I have enjoyed 
it a great deal so far. 

The day I got here I ran into Henry Conse, who is doing graduate work 
here in English. Buck Plunkett is over at the Law School; Count Selby lives 
in Cambridge ; and Ed Annin is in Boston ; so when we got together the 
night before the Harvard game, we were not entirely swamped by the 
number from the later classes, about sixty of whom are at the Law School. 
Unfortunately we couldn't seem to make the team win the next day. 

I wonder if Wells Kerr has written you. Perhaps if he has we shall be 
giving you the same news. At any rate the news of last summer is a very 
essential part of the experiences of both of us. We have been together for 
the past three years, teaching in the Asheville School. Last summer we went 
abroad together. 

We landed in Antwerp on the 29th of June, and were in Belgium for ten 
days, visiting Bruges, Corntrai, Ghent, and Brussels. Considering the fact 
that much that we saw is now no more, we were rather fortunate. Some 
Belgians we had met on the boat were very hospitable to us, and since they

Moffett, 



now have become a people without a home I want to record their kindness 
to us. 

After that we went into Holland, and then into Germany, and when the 
war broke out we were in Munich. Here we stayed three weeks. Then we 
took the fastest combination of trains to Holland — it took us six days, with 
something like fourteen 'changes — and no station on the way was refused 
a visit of from five to fifteen minutes. 

But if I began to tell you our experiences I should fill too much space and 
make it a poor account besides. The enclosed pictures shows us as we were 
one July day, tramping along the Rhine. You may put it in the record book 
or not, as you choose. It was our original idea to go into Switzerland and 
Italy, but we had to be content with a week in London, before sailing back. 
On the whole the trip was a great success ; we saw Europe in Peace and 
at war. 

This will give some idea of what I have been doing with myself. I hope 
Wells will write to tell you something about our work at the Asheville 
School. 

Yours very sincerely, 

Donald Roberts.

Maher, Colo., Jan. 26, 1915. 
My dear Josh : 

Am surprised that you wish to hear from an outcast like your "Uncle Dud." 
Is it because you city "fellers" like to hear of the back woods, or simply to 
make us feel that we are not entirely lost from our old bonds? The greatest 
disappointment in my life was the knowledge that I had to leave Princeton, 
and in order not to have any more heart-aches than necessary I sort of cut 
all cables from there and tried to forget that I ever frequented those sacred 
precincts. I am getting over those foolish — if you will pardon the expression 
— illusions now with my lovely family — a wonderful wife and two boys — and 
I can again think rationally of those good times I had with you fellows in 
Princeton. 

You will care little of the time 'between the few days I was at 47 Univer- 
sity Place and now, but will sum that period up briefly in case you might wish 
to know. The reason I had to leave school was primarily a muscular trouble 
with my eyes which caused eye strain when I studied and resulted in a nerv- 
ous condition affecting my stomach. I was told to cut out reading and study- 
ing; to travel and forget myself. Went to Europe for a few months and 
then wandered about the U. S. aimlessly until I was disgusted with the loaf- 
ing proposition. The climate and country which looked best to me was 
western Colorado, so I came back here and bought a small interest in a 
store (they wouldn't have hired me if they hadn't had to in this way). This 
confinement didn't suit me however, and I hit upon the idea of raising cattle. 
Bought a couple hundred head stock cattle, hired an old Texas cow-boy, and 
undertook to become a cow-puncher. This was my line all right, I guess, for 
I have stayed with it for seven years now and like it better than ever. Have 
a ranch of loco acres which we call the home ranch and raise hay, grain, etc., 
three cow camps about eight miles apart on the Forest reserve, where we 
have corrals, pastures, etc., for handling cattle on the range, and the cattle to 
run on the reserve.~ I am figuring with a man now with the idea of getting a 
location on the East side of the mountains as well as over here. This is all 
I have to report, "me lord." Filled out one of those Biographical Statistics 
last spring. Had to send it home and have my father fill in his and mother's 
part of the record. Is it necessary to do it again? What do you care about 
an old piker like myself? I never could feel that I had much claim 
on you fellows anyway as I was at Princeton so short a time. 

Am enclosing- two kodak pictures — one of our range in the mountains, 
about 9,000 feet elevation where cattle run ; the other a view at the ranch — 
from right to left — two riders I had, Mrs. Rockwell, my two boys on their 
pony, myself, and cow dog who is my constant companion. 

For all our sakes do not copy this letter or any part in your book. Am 
summing up past, present, and future for reference if need be. Wishing 
you success in your work, I am, 

Sincerely yours, 

Rob Rockwell.

Dear Josh : 

I am just in receipt of your postal card with the class picture on it, after 
it had traveled around promiscuously several weeks and must confess that 
it made me feel heartily ashamed of myself for not having taken more 
interest in the doings of the "Best Class On Earth." I will give you a little 
outline of what I have been doing since I left college and in the future, am 
going to fall back on the old time-honored excuse, "I will do better next 
time." 

In 1909 and 1910, I built the Marion-Hulbert Cut-off and Harvard yard for 
the Frisco Lines and was located at ^Marion, Ark., which is about ten miles 
from Memphis. In 191 1, I located and built the Erwinville branch of the 
Frisco Lines in Louisiana and I am now, after having been nearly two years 
on it, finishing up the building of the Malvern & Camden Railway for the 
Rock Island Lines. This line is about sixty miles in length and runs from 
Malvern to Camden, Arkansas. 

Nash Mathews, who is now a full-fledged contractor has just completed 
four miles of this line. He is building the Santa Fe yards at Brownwood, 
Texas. 

In June, 1910, I married Miss Lucile Palmer Taft and we now have a little 
daughter, who was born in October, 191 1. 

I had fully intended to come East this fall and see all of you fellows again; 
but from the looks of things down here, I don't expect I will get away much 
before Christmas. I will certainly make a special effort to get back to 
Princeton next June. I haven't kept in touch with many of the boys since

leaving school ; but Mathews and 1 have been closely associated ever since. 
He says he is going to try and get his class changed and get in with us instead 
of 1910. 

This railroad game is the limit and anybody that gets along in it has to 
stick pretty close to his knitting all of the time. 

Would like very much to hear from you and know how everything is 
and you may rest assured that I will endeavor to show a little more class 
spirit in the future than I have heretofore. Please remember me to any of 
the boys you may see. 

As ever, 

Samuel Rockwell, Jr.

Charlie has been unable to attend any of our Reunions or Dinners. If he 
would only come to one, we know he would attend all the rest. 

New York, Nov. 10, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

When I met you in the Subway a few nights ago, I learned that I had mis- 
interpreted one of the ciuestions in the autobiographical -blank dealt out to us 
recently. I understood the cjuestion to refer to our travels only since the 
publication of our three-year Class Record, whereas it was since graduation. 
That changes my answer "quite some." 

Since June, 1909, I've visited the following countries, on four trips : 
England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Germany. Swtizerland, Spain, Gibraltar, 
Jamaica, Canal Zone, Panama, Costa Rica and Canada. Also I have been in a 
harbor of Guatemala and have sailed along the coasts, often near enough to 
take photographs of Morocco, Portugal, Bahamas, Cuba, Nicaragua, Honduras. 
British Honduras and Mexico. 

My list of States visited is as follows : Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont*, 
Massachusetts, Rhode Island*, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl- 
vania, Delaware*, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia*, 

248 



Ohio, Kentucky, Tennesee, Georgia, Alabama*, Mississippi* and Louisiana. 
*In these States I've done little more than pass ihrough in a train. 
Of course, I've kept my ornithological eyes open on these trips and so now 
my list of birds seen in a wild state number about six hundred different kinds. 
I have already collected a host of memories which will be a life-long source of 
delight — such for instance, as that of a three-day trip, alone and afoot, to 
climb the eleven thousand-foot volcano, Turrialba, on the edge of whose crater 
I sat as one might on a ridgepole, one leg down one side and one down the 
other. I feel much as a certain one whom I shall now quote from memory, 
with intentional and probably unintentional alterations : 
"The things there are that I have seen. 
This side and t'other, tropics too, 
I tells them over to myself, 
And sometimes wonders if they're true. 
They was so odd, so awful odd. 
But all the same, now they are o'er. 
There must be 'eaps o'plenty such, 
And if I wait I'll see some more." 
This is my third year at the Museum, where my chief work is on the 
exhibition bird collections. Nearly every holiday and Sunday I spend in the 
field, likewise some Saturdays. As I have many friends hereabouts, I am 
out in the evening more often than in. I give occasional lectures on topics 
ornithological and otherwise. 
And so it goes. 

Yours faithfully, 

Charles H. Rogers.

Dear Josh : 

At last I have determined to drop you a line for the Fifth Year Book. 
I am still working at the same occupation that kept me busy three years 
ago, although a little further advanced in experience and business knowledge 
I hope. I have not seen any fortune coming my way yet but have been able 

249 



nevertheless to enjoy life and make both ends meet at least. I am glad to 
say I am married and might add that I certainly recommend all members of the 
class who are not in that state to get there without delay. That's about the 
way I feel anyway. 

I certainly hope the 1909 reunion spirit continues to be so strong as for the 
last five years and I hope it will never die down nor will enthusiasm be 
lessened no matter how old we grow. Nobody can ever take away from us 
those four years at Princeton together, which ninety nine per cent of us at 
least, cared for so much. Let us therefore do all we can to keep alive all 
those associations which came to us then by each one of us doing his part 
toward making each reunion and class gathering a greater success than the 
previous one. Judging from the previous ones this is asking a good deal but 
it can be done. 

Yours very sincerely, 

Ripley Ropes.

250 



Dear Josh : 

I have no alibi for the delay in sending this information to you but hope 
you will overlook it this time. 

After graduation I started to work with the Pittsburgh branch of the 
Thompson-Starrett Co. I was with this firm for four years, two years 
as timekeeper and two as superintendent and was located the entire time in 
Pittsburgh with the exception of nine months spent at Clarksburg, W. Va. 
For thrills and interest it would be hard to find a better business than build- 
ing construction but by the summerof 1913, the town had apparently become 
completely built so the firm asked for waivers on me. 

In August of that year I entered the employ of the Armstrong Cork Co. 
at this factory in Beaver Falls, Pa. The principal product made at this plant 
is a cork board for cold storage insulation and a brick for the insulation of 
boiler settings and furnaces of all kinds. I drew a sentence of a year and a 
fialf at Beaver Falls until February, 1915, when I entered the office of, the 
insulation department of the company in Pittsburgh. 

I have nothing of particular interest to report outside of business as I 
have been pretty well isolated while working out of the city. The three days 
I spent at the Fifth Reunion helped a lot to break up the monotony and I 
hope to repeat again this June. 

Yours, 

Joe Salsbury.

Friend Josh : 

I should ought to of wrote yon long before this Josh, and I gess now it is 
to late to rite but I have not had no chance to do nothing accept work and I 
gess you appreshiate that alright. This here Bill Prizer should ought to know 
better than to keep calling me up on the phone and bothering me with letters 
and telegram wires all the time. He says how about that letter Art and I 
says what letter and he says the one for the class book, rite something snappy 

251 



and brite. I says do not you think I have not got nothing else to do accept 
rite letters all the time riteing letters for a class book will not get me no 
raises from my boss. Then he shut up. I had him ther, eh Josh? This 
Prizer has got a soft job Josh, and I gess he dont have to pay for his phome 
calls or stamps or telegram wires Josh but spunges on the firm or else he 
wouldn't be so free with them things, the lucky stiff. If he had of spoken 
anuther word I would of busted his jaw. You know me Josh. 

Well Josh, here it is almost time for the dinner in New York and then the 
next sixth reunion at Prinseton and I am not drinking hardly no beer at all 
because Josh they is no man living what can go around full of hops and 
succede in life and make no name for hisself. I gess you remember what 
Genl Woodhull used to say when I and you was in college — he said beneath 
the reddest rose they often lerks a stinging bee and he was right alright and 
if you want to prove it look at Hatch Treadwell and Roy Dickinson and 
Norm Armour and fellers like them Josh, and see if Genl Woodhul wassent 
rite. He knew more about war than this here Gen. Sherman does because 
Gen. Sherman did not never go to Prinseton. 

They is not much to rite you about what I done since Pres. Wilson give me 
my bachelor artium degree Josh, only I say more and more I appreshiate 
what edukation and culture has did for me and I am glad I never had took 
enginereing coarse in Prinseton. If I had I would of ben sorry I 
had ever went there. I was a reporter on the Sun, N. Y. riteing up oratoricle 
speeches of T. Roosevelt the ex-Pres. and Police murders and different 
artikles and then I wanted to go into the adv. bus. so I worked for Huylers 
to get the bus. experience and then I got a job with Calkins and Holden, the 
advertising agents. They sent me to Philadelphia, Josh, to work for them on 
the Public Ledger which is a swell newspaper and not no book. That is about 
all I can say Josh accept that I aint beefing about my salary and what future 
they is in business, like certain people I and you know about. I wont 
mention no names. 

Some time I will rite you a letter about Philadelphia Josh, but I am to wide 
awake and feel to good to do it now. Fats Caldwel, Aubrey Bunting and 
Jim Maury can tell you theirselves. It would be better probily because they 
was born and razed up here accept Fats and he has to live here anyway. 

Do not forget to ask Jim to tell the class all about the War. Jim is a naval 
and war expert and one night he would of went right to the front if we 
hadnt of stopped him just as he got to the door and made him sit down. 

Well Josh this here letter is pretty dam long after all but you deserve sup- 
port no matter how rotten it is and here it is. 

You can count on me any time rain or snow. Y"ou know me Josh and 
oblige. 

Your old pal, 

Art.

Eve been rather careless, Em afraid, about this Class Record stuff and hope 
you will pardon me. 

I am sorr}' that I have no especial news at this writing. My latest accom- 
plishment is a small orchestra in the Boys' Band of the Pittsburgh Y. M. C. A. 
which I am trying to lead and we hope before long to have some Princeton 
football songs and marches down pat and ready for concert work. 

I hope you are well, Josh, and getting more help than I have given you 
in connection with these 'eg statistics, which are important, but which some 
of us are more or less lazy aboat compiling. You will notice that I tilled 
mine out some months ago. But no one wishes you more success than I and 
no one will be more anxious to get the finished product. 

With my best regards to the fellows in your vicinity and the same to your 
good self, I am, 

Always the same,

Presena, Oct. 2'j, 1914. 
Dear Josh ; 

I was very sorry that I could not stay at Princeton for the Reunion, but 
just before reunion I was in Princeton visiting when I was called back to 
work here in Mexico. 

We closed down in ^lay and were called back on the last day of May 
to go to work again. I am mine foreman of a group of miners here at 
Parral. I have about live hundred Mexicans under me when things are 
going full swing. 

Just now the Herreras are out in the mountains holding all the train 
equipment of the Parral and Derango Railroad, and so we are without fuel 
for the power plant, so the mill has already closed and we at the mine 
have stopped hoisting ore, and doing progress work only. 

We just heard that the General Manager of a property just north of us 
has been taken prisoner and held for ransom by the Herreras. Just the other 
day the Herreras came and tried to take Parral, but were defeated by the 
Villistas, there were about two hundred killed and none wounded. 

I am afraid that I have written too much already so I will close with 
regards to all the fellows, I remain, 

Very sincerely yours, 

Louis Merrill Scott.

Dear Josh : 

I hope you survive the shock upon receiving this epistle. My intentions 
have been of the best for some time, but they have doubtless been converted 
long since into paving material by His Satanic Majesty, 

263 



I am wondering what to write. I should much prefer hearing what you 
would have to say about your "doings" since I last saw you in June. What 
is there of special interest to recount in the quiet, uneventful life of a 
pedagogue? My evenings are given over to the correction of themes which 
come pouring in, in a ceaseless stream, continually threatening to snow me 
under. Occasionally I become real devilish and go to the Family (the local 
vaudeville house). Then, too, there have been some fine evenings through 
the efforts of the Purdue Lecture Bureau. Just last week William Lyon 
Phelps, of Yale, gave two splendid addresses, which made a decided "hit" 
with the students. This week, or in the very near future, the Steindel 
Trio comes for a concert. I mention these as representative numbers given 
throughout the winter. 1 consider myself very fortunate in being in a 
position to take advantage of such exceptional opportunities — it means a great 
deal. I found, through a chance meeting with "Newt" Cass during the 
holidays, that you were out this way lately, and I was very much disappoint- 
ed that you were unable to stop off here for a little visit. I wish you might 
have seen the college. You would be surprised, I think, to see the interest 
taken here in basketball. The gymnasium is usually packed when a confer- 
ence game is played, which is equivalent to saying that there are anywhere 
from two to three thousand persons present. Although Purdue is out of the 
running so far as the conference championship is concerned, the team is a 
good one and puts up a stiff fight. Your own game, hockey, is not played 
as there is no body of water to practice on. I see by the Weekly that 
Princeton has a good team this year ; at least that is the impression I have 
gained. When you get out this way again, in the near future, or at any time, 
arrange to pay me at least a little visit — won't you? 

I know you must be beginning to make plans for the big reunion this 
spring again — the truth of the matter is, I suppose, that you are kept busy 
the whole year round figuring out various stunts. Certainly you deserved 
the praise that was on everybody's lips for the wonderful reunion last year. 
I enjoyed every minute I was there and was sorry when I had to go. I'm 
very much afraid I shall be unable to be on hand for some time to come but 
it will not be anything like five years if I can help it. I was glad to 
see by the last Alumni that the chances are good for Princeton's getting a 
splendid new dining hall through Mrs. Sage's generosity. I wonder if the 
next five years will mark as distinct an expansion in the erection of beautiful 
halls, dormitories, etc., as have the past five years? How I should have 
enjoyed being present at the opening of the Stadium this fall ! I have a 
"hunch" that perhaps my young hopeful may do something within those 
confines along about 1935 — believe me he is some healthy specimen ! Oh, yes, I 
know you are favoring this with an indulgent smile — only the ravings of a 
fond papa you say — but, well just wait and see. You see. Josh, I propose 
that he shall have the benefit of professional coaching under the tutelage of 
a one-time athletic director — you "get" me, don't you? Just the same, old 
boy, I won the faculty championship in singles last fall — still feel pretty 
chesty over it. 

Well, Josh, I believe I have about given you the story of my life during 

264 



the past months. Give my best regards to "Dug", "Doc" Hildebrand and all 
other " 'ogers" and tell them I would appreciate a line from them at any time. 
Sorry I was not more prompt in getting this written in time for the book. 
I know you will be very busy from now on, but I shall be mighty glad to 
have a line from you at any time. Best of luck to you always, 

Yours truly, 

Paul Sidwell.

Cranbury, X. J., Jan. 25, 1915. 
Dear Josh : 

My private secretary struck for higher wages, shorter hours and now has 
my house picketed so that I can't get another. After this I know you will 
excuse my scrawl. 

Perhaps this will come too late for the Fifth Year Book and my only ex- 
cuse is the enclosed picture. I had just been telling Jack about our Fifth and 
what he might expect at the Tenth — hence the sad expression. You wanted 
a personal letter and this young man holds the center of the stage for us at 
present. There are no other acts at all. If you want the 1935 backfield, just 
get Al Walters to give 3^ou the dope. 

I am sorry I can't say I'll be with you at the sixth annual in New York. I 
know it will be O. K. if I should drop in but the chances are so slight that I 
would rather register as "unable." 

Saw by the Weekly that you visited "Ted" Hinton and John Scull as you 
expected to do when I saw you in Dunellen. 

Give my best to all the boys at the dinner. I hate to miss it for I've been 
there before. 

As ever, 

"Pop."

State College, Pa., Nov. 4, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

It looks as if the only way you can get a letter out of me is to put those 

265 



notices about statistic blanks in the Alumni JJ'cckly and then not send me a 
blank. Be it far from me to expect your virile pen to address me when 
3'ou have no idea where I am, but you see how the scheme works. Better try 
it on some other slow ones. 

You have probably heard of my adopted Alma ]\Iater as she was recently 
made famous by trying Harvard and then trying to burn up the captain of 
the team in the celebration bon-fire. I am glad to say that no one was hurt 
seriously, contrary to numerous press notices. You can hardly blame the 
papers though, it did make a fine story. 

It's a pretty good place, Josh, the fellows are a good bunch generally and I 
am kept fairly hard at work getting what dope I can on all kinds of farm 
business. It's quite a change from steel to farming and probably it will seem 
a pretty poor hunch to most fellows, but it appeals to me because it seems 
so much more healthful and independent a life than sitting in an office all day 
long. So I thought I'd better m.ake the change now than be sorry later 
when I was set or settled as the case may be. 

I am going to miss the Yale game this year, for the first time in a long 
while, but you will see me in June if not before. I suppose you have heard 
that my father has recently moved to Princeton, so you can make my 
permanent address there at 31 Alexander Street. 

Here are my best wishes. Josh, for a happy and prosperous Winter for you 
and the other fellows in New York. 

Sincerely, 

Ritchie W. Smith.

Dear Josh : 

Eve been holding ofi^ as long as I could with this letter so I could give you 
the latest dope. My letter for the Three Year Book was written from St. 
Louis, I think. Since then I made a nine months' trip to Mexico, building" 
oil tanks; put in half a mile of fourteen-foot diameter pipe in Ohio; and 
spent a year erecting penstocks for a hydro-electric plant in northwestern 
New York. There I had a touch of Bill Hallimond's life, sleeping in a tent 
with two feet of snow piled around the outside to keep warm. Last fall I 
joined the Standard Oil Company and will become one of their missionaries 
in the Straits Settlements and Java where it will be my duty to see that the 
natives get all the light they want and to provide transportation and storage 
for it. That's all — except a hearty invitation to the fellows to drop in and 
visit v/hat they say is the garden spot of the earth — Java. 

Sincerely, 

Ike.

Dear Josh : 

Your notice with all the "family history" desired received this morning. 
I have answered the biographical record to Mr. Collins. Since our Trieninal 
I have been trying to learn enough law to indulge in the lawyers' exercise, 
namely, "chinning the bar." I have been spending my spare moments trying 
to elect Dayton Oliphant as a member of the Assembly of New Jersey, and 
I think the outcome looks encouraging as he has received the nomination at 
the primaries. All my odd moments are taken up trying to raise a family, 
for you know Josh, that there are three now, two girls and a boy. My son, 
Bayard, 3rd, is in a fair way to be another Ed Stannard as he is not quite 
two years old and weighs 36 pounds. I will try to dig up some photos to let 
you have, but at present have not any that would be of special interest 
except some family photos which my wife refuses to part with.

It is pretty early in the morning to be humorous or breezy, so I will 
close with best wishes to all the boys. 

Yours sincerely, 

Dick Stockton.

Dear Josh : 

You want me to write about myself, about my achievements and all the 
rest of the rot that we consider so important to ourselves and does not inter- 
est others at all. I am sorry to report that nothing of the sort has happened 
to me and that you will have to wait a little longer before I donate that 
dormitory. 

There is, however, a subject that we are all interested in and for that rea- 
son alone do I venture to touch on it even superficially I realize more and 
more that all of us were to a certain extent charity students while at Prince- 
ton ; that what we paid for tuition did not cover expenses.

Can't we do soir.ething ta wipe out that debt? I have long been one of

mind that that will be taken care of in the future. 

I like your idea of publishing the receipts in the Alumni Weekly. No one 
wants to be the sole subscriber and we may get the habit when we see others 
in line. I am looking forward with pleasure to the big dinner. 

(I have done it, thank the Lord.) If I don't seal this and send it out I 
will never let it go out of my hands in the morning. 

I don't know how the class is ever going to repay you for your work. No 
amount of circularization could have gotten this out of me. I promised you 
I would write this tonight and it is done. 

Good luck to you Josh ! 

As usual,

My dear "Josh" : 

Complying with your request of a few months ago. I am enclosing the 
blank you sent filled in as nearly correct as possible, with the hope that the 
information will be of service. The post card concerning incomes was 
mailed in October. 

I really know of nothing that T could say which would be of interest to the 
class, as you know I am an old married man with a growing family living 
the simple life out in Upper Montclair, N. J. I unfortunately do not meer 
many of the old boys as business keeps me pretty well occupied during the 
day, and evenings. I'm somewhat of a homebody now. 

274 



About the dinner, — I don't know yet but will send you the post card in a 
day or two. However, whether I can attend or not, I hope it will he a 
glorious success. 

Sincerely yours, 

"Cy" Straat.

December 6, 1914. 
Dear Josli : 

At last here's that class letter which I promised you some time ago and 
which, as I note by the last few issues of the Alumni Weekly, you are anx- 
ious to get. I suppose that probably the item of most interest to other 
members of the class is a synopsis of what each man has done since leaving" 
Princeton in June 1909, and a few words describing the kind of work he is 
engaged in at the present time, as that is usually the first question we ask when 
we happen to meet a classmate. So here's mine. 

After leaving Princeton in June 1909, I went to work for E. C. Brown '04, 
who is President of a Contracting Co. in New York. He sent me up to 
Tyriiigham, Mass., in the Berkshire Hills, right near my birthplace and boy- 
hood home, on a contract to build a mansion, far up on a mountainside 
overlooking Lenox, for a Congressman. My work was an all-around educa- 
tion in the contracting line, some of my duties including timekeeper, level- 
man, transitman, accountant (all material and petty cash), and paymaster. 
Needless to say I lived a great outdoor life, learned much and earned 
little. Leaving there in the fall I took a position in the draughting room of 
the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia but was only there two 
months where I secured a better opening on the Pennsylvania R. R. tunnels 
in New York, where for six months I was Assistant Paymaster and for six 
months more was inspector and itemizer of time records with actual work 
through the Hudson and East River tubes. This also was very interesting 
work, as I had to interview each foreman daily and note the progress of each 
class of work, such as grading, track laying, third rail laying, bonding, pipe 
fitting, duct rodding, electric wiring, etc. I had several narrow third rail 
escapes inyself and witnessed many exciting accidents and incidents. Upon 
the completion of the tubes I took a position as Engineering Computer with 
the Railroad and Canal Revaluation Co. in Elizabeth, N. J., where I 
remained for six more months and in the spring of 191 1 I entered the 
Commercial Department of the New York Telephone Co. After a year's 
experience in the commercial end I was transferred to the General Commer- 

276 



cial Enginer's Office at 15 Dey Street, New York, where I am at the present 
time. The work I am now engaged in is the most interesting by far of any that 
I have taken up and while not strictly C.E. work, is such that requires an 
engineering education. Our duties consist in making local and toll rates, 
establishing telephone district boundaries, handling Public Service Commission 
complaints, making studies for future construction and development (20 
years ahead), preparing all recommendations for change in rates and regula- 
tions and handling all miscellaneous cases which are too complicated for the 
Commercial Department. As can be seen our work is never routine and 
therefore always interesting. It reminds me somewhat of handling "originals" 
in geometry. 

On the end of this business history I may add that I am most happily 
married to a South Carolina maid and have a son, Frederick de Rosset Strong, 
born November 8, 1914. We are living out in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn 
(don't laugh — it's the only place to live) and will be very glad to welcome 
any 'cger that happens out this way. I am enclosing a little snapshot of 
Mrs. Strong at our Fifth Reunion in Princeton and a copy of my "official 
class photo"' taken at the Fifth Reunion tent and which appeared to be 
ninety per cent blur and ten per cent photograph. With best regards and 
wishes to all the class, I remain, 

Sincerely 3"Ours for Princeton and '09, 

Ludlow Potter Strong.

December 8, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

1913 — Surbrug, 204 Broadway. 
1914 — Muthol, Limited. 
Since our last class letter in 1912, much has transpired in my life. Tobacco 
is still predominant in the form of "Surbrug's Best Make," a mild mixture 
of my own creation, which I am pleased to say has been remarkably well 
received. 

Second, a cigarette called "My Blend" for the individual smoker. To each 
consumer I give the choice of eight blends of Turkish tobacco and allot the 
number of the blend he chooses on his box. He re-orders by number, thereby 
insuring him as similar a smoke to the original as the tobacco grows. This 
also is working out quite nicely. 

In January last I became much interested in Motion Pictures and was 
instrumental in helping found the Motion Picture News, one of two trade 
journals in that field. 

Motion Pictures are today one of the largest enterprises of this country. 
The purchasing power reached per month by our journal is a trifle under five 
million dollars, or approximately fifty-eight million dollars a year. These 
figures show what the exhibitors pay out for supplies, machines, films, etc., 
exclusive of rent and salaries. 

The future of this business, industrially and educationally, is tremendous, 
especially the latter. Current opinion among moving-picture men state that 
it will be included in all colleges and schools before five years have elapsed, 
and as a silent sales agent, all large corporations will have films included as 
a selling agent. Needless to say, the Motion Picture News has gone right 
ahead and is running regularly an average of about 50 pages of advertising. 

While in London this year we managed to secure the American rights to 
several Pharmaceutical Preparations.

"Sim" Plaut 



One MUTHOL, a blanc mange emulsion containing ninety-nine per cent 
Russion Oil and one per cent Milk proteid. This preparation so widely used 
in England and on the Continent, is a mechanical lubricant, and as Three-in- 
One is used for machinery, MUTHOL is used for the large and small intes- 
tines and the entire digestive organism. 

Russian Oil (Petrolatum Liquidum) as a lubricant and a preventative of 
constipation, has been growing tremendously in usage in America, in the last 
eight years. There are many people, however, who cannot take oil — hence the 
origin of MUTHOL, in which there is not a trace of oil perceptible. 

The War has held up all shipments to this country of Russian Oil, which 
comes from the Black Sea district, and so we shall have to await the will of 
the Powers that survive for the manufacture of MUTHOL. 

For 1915, must say that all indications seem to point to a bigger and 
brighter horizon for all lines of business. The United States will have to be 
the factory in nearly all lines for the civilized world, until the Allies, Germany 
and Austria get back into the manufacturing stride. 

Therefore, it seems to me that we boys of '09 should get part of that 
world-wide business that must come to America, and each one of us should 
think out how he can build up and better our industries, by securing some 
part of it. 

My regards to all. 

Sincerely yours, 

J. W. SURBRUG, Jr.

272 Pine Street, Fall River, Mass. 
December i, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

Having requisitioned my family for information for your eugenic cate- 
chism I think I've complied with all your requests except for a letter. I 
wouldn't consider that worth while if I didn't remember how I enjoyed 
reading every word published about the fellows in the Third Year Record. 

When that volume appeared I was studying electrical engineering at the 
Massachusetts' Institute of Technology. I managed to graduate with the 
Class of 1913 after two years of strenuous work. Let me state that I never 
knew at Princeton what really hard (curriculum) work was except at exam- 
ination time. Tech is a great institution and I enjoyed my work there very 
much. But I can't be too thankful that I had Princeton first. I think it's a 
great mistake for one to enter upon straight technical study without a 
previous general training. The advantage of the latter may not show up at 
once in dollars and cents but I believe it exists just the same. 

281 



After graduating from Tech I cast in my lot with Stone and Webster of 
Boston as a "student" engineer in the Management Association. This organ- 
ization manages and operates about forty electric light and power, railway, 
and gas properties in various parts of the country. I spent about five weeks 
with the Connecticut Power Co. at New London and nearly a year in the 
Boston office. Last summer I was sent to the Fall River Gas Works Co. and 
am learning the gas business at present. Stone and Webster have just 
completed a coal gas plant here which is about the last word in coal gas manu- 
facture. The new vertical retorts were put in by the United Gas Improve- 
ment Co. of Philadelphia. 

The best thing I've found in Fall River is the boat line to New York. The 
town was put on the map by that line and Sam White, though I suppose that 
a native son would say that its cotton mills are its chief claim to distinction. 

With the exception of the first year, when I was in California, nearly all of 
my time since graduation has been spent in New England, where Princeton 
cuts a very small figure. Most of the people I see are color blind and can 
see only crimson. 1 was mighty glad when Ed Annin came to Boston last 
winter, and there 'was one other member of the great class on the hostile 
land of Beacon Hill. I know of no Princetonians in Fall River, and surely 
would be delighted to see anybody who happened to be passing this way. 

As ever, 

Ralph L. Thomas.

My dear Josh : 

I return the Record Blanks filled out as best I can. I think I answered the 
same questions last year, but do so again to be on the safe side. 

The best news I have heard for a long time is that the Triangle Club 
is coming down in December. We are all looking forward to it with great 
delight for it will give us a little taste of Princeton once again. 

Have been sticking pretty close to St. Louis the past year. Last April was 
the last tim.e I went East and then for a brother's wedding. Had a very good 
time, spent all my money and consequently couldn't af^ain make the trip in 
June. Certainly did want to do so, but no such luck. 

The legal business has been progressing very nicely, but of course I don't 

283 



dare work too hard. That would never do. One can't let his business inter- 
fere too much. 

'Give my best regards to the different men of the class, you happen to 
meet. 

Good luck, Josh, as ever,

I have delayed writing to you, for to tell the truth I don't know what to 
write. You say to make the letter personal ; to tell all about what I am 
doing and have been doing and that as a consequence my letter will be 
interesting. It is hard for me to see how the things I do, could be of 
much interest to the rest of the. class. At the same time I know how I like 
to hear what all the others are doing and there is a bare chance that you 
may be right, when you say they might be mildly interested in me too. 
At any rate, I hope so. 

Ever since leaving college, I have been most fortunate in living so near to 
Princeton that I can keep in touch with things pretty well. You may be 
sure I have taken full advantage of this opportunity too. Even in my busi- 
ness. I am connected with Princeton. The United States Trust Company, 
where I work, is the Assistant Treasurer of Princeton and we keep most of 
her money in our vaults. We collect the income and pay it over as well, so 
you see I have become somewhat familiar with a side of the University that 
was unknown to me before. I might say that while Princeton has a large 
amount of money, she could use more. In the latter respect, I doubt if she 
has much on some of her graduates who have been out about five years or so. 
Our Class Memorial Fund is also on deposit at the U. S. Trust and you may 
be sure I do all in my power to obtain a high rate of interest for us. 

Of course I get down to Princeton very often. This fall I saw five out of 
the seven fooiball games played at home and I wish there were more to "come.

As the Tribune said, "Princeton's Season Was Too Short; if it had been ten 
minutes longer she would have beaten Yale." 

You know I have never missed a Reunion yet, and I never intend to if I 
can help it. It is so easy for me to reach Princeton, that I'm afraid I don't 
appreciate the sacrifices some of the fellows make to get back. 

To get back to the personal side of this letter. I arise every morning short- 
ly after seven; I eat a light breakfast and hustle into New York. When 
I have finished my work there for the day, I come home and try my hand 
at writing books for boys during the evening. It is great fun and I enjoy 
it immensely. I never expect to be a second Henty or to make a million 
dollars from this work, but I must say it is well worth all the effort it takes. 
Besides writing under my own name, I have used a "nom de plume." I 
was startled to see an announcement of that fact in the Alumni Weekly 
a short time ago. It is supposed to be a secret and I didn't see how you 
had discovered it, until I talked with Bill Prizer. However, I don't mind 
letting the Class in on it. I am still writing all the time and I hope to keep 
it up. So far, I have been very lucky and let's hope the luck also keeps up. I 
do very little besides my business and my writing, for, as you can see, the two 
together keep me pretty well on the jump. 

Whether this is the kind of a letter you want or not I don't know, though 
I hope it is. At any rate I have told you all I do and I want to hear what 
everyone else is doing too. Our three-year book was fine and I'm sure this 
one too will be just as great a success. 

With best wishes, as ever, 

Paul G. Tomlinson.

April 5, 1915. 
My Dear Joshua : 

The third instalment of my life begins under very different circumstances 
than did the first and second. 

In each of the preceding cases I was a young struggling engineer, "exist- 
ing," in the out of the way places and adding my little mite towards the 
great structures for the convenience and use of mankind and for the ad- 
vancement of civilization. The last scene closed with the hero, myself, at 
White Plains, in charge of construction on a small section of an $11,000,000 
dam job. 

X'ow the scene is shifted. But wait. First I must go on from the last 
chapter. On October 9, 1912, I severed my connections with the Board of 
Water Supply and returned to dear old X^ew York City. On October 10, I 
started with the Public Service Commission in charge of field construction 
on the Lexington Avenue section of the new subway system. The tri-borough 
route. I was located at 96th Street. The section extending from 93rd to 
io6th Street. The heart of Gunman's retreat or the home of the Carbarn 
Gang. And many of this crowd worked on this section. Here we constructed 
the largest rock tunnel, free of timbering ever driven in the world. Sixty 
feet underground with trolleys running over head as though nothing was 
going on. Under the street planking we worked, excavating and building re- 
inforced steel double deck subway construction and started a station. When 
the work had so far progressed as to begin to be repetition and monotony 
the scene shifted, and Saturday night I climbed, in my old working clothes 
worn by me for the last time, out from under the street, under the sewer 
and on Monday morning at 8.30 o'clock I stood on the main floor of 
Tiffany & Co., Fifth Ave. and 37th Street store. Yes that's right. 
Out of the sewer into the parlor. So on Nov. 22, 1913, my short and 
spicy career as an engineer ended and on X'^ov. 24, 1913, I began life in a retail 
business. Thus ended my servitude on Sundays and holidays and at night 
and now I enjoy a respite from work on these days as do other civilized 
business men. 

The regeneration having commenced and the golden rift having opened in 
the dense and gloomy clouds I began to try and pick up acquaintance with my 

287 



old friends and to make new ones for at least the time when I might make a 
social engagement and keep it had come again. After six years of servitude, 
summer rolled around again and 1 enjoyed my first vacation since the summer 
of 1908. That was a much needed vacation. At our Fifth Reunion I showed 
the loss of sixteen pounds, very plainly and my trip to Placid in the Adiron- 
dacks and three weeks of golf did wonders to get me back to normal. 

The retail business may not be so noticeably a man's job as is the construc- 
tion of bridges and tunnels, but it's a great deal more strenuous and nerve 
racking. I have worked harder in the last one and one half years than ever 
before in my life, but I love it, its real work, it needs brains and six years 
with the wops left great empty gaps in my brain. I am able now to spend 
more time with the work of the Social Service Committee in the Settlement 
Work, and in the Big Brother Movement and it is fascinating and fine work. 
In connection with the work of the Graduate Council to which body the 
grand Class of 1909 has done me the honor to elect me as their representative 
I have gained much in many ways, and as a member of it's Committees on 
Schools and on Undergraduate Activities I hope to do much for Princeton in 
return and so prove myself a real representative of '09. 

So now with my health restored with my vision broadened, with the happier 
outlook on life and humanity I am ready to help swing the old pep into the 
reunions again. My jaw is set to make the tent of '09 again as always, but 
even more so than ever before, the only tent in town. 

There have been many changes at Princeton as I told the diners at the 
Baltimore Banquet of the Alumni Association of Maryland and there will be 
more changes. The Class of 1909 started many of the best of them, tried out 
some and proved them good, and 1909 will be responsible through many of 
her members for better things to come. 

This letter has developed into cjuite a drule but such is so characteristic of 
my appearances before the class that I imagine they can stand it once more. 
Here's to our great reunion in June. The Sixth, the final proof that we are, 
as we are already styled the reuning class. 

Most sincerely yours, 

"Hatch."

Dear Josh : 

The following shot from a member of the Entrance Committee of the Un- 
derwriter's Association will tell you all about myself : "Fire insurance is a 
precarious business on a ten per cent basis" and I find that he was about 
right. 

I am now in the General Insurance business in the capacity of a Broker, 
and am fairly successful. I expect to stick to this business and see if I can- 
not make it go. 

Josh, I am always glad to hear from you or any other member of the 
Class of 1909. I appreciate the fact that the class was very kind to me and 

290 



hope some day to be able to partly repay it but not wholly as this would be 
impossible. 

Josh, it is a hard matter for me to convey to you and the class my 
feelings towards each, individually and collectively, and my well wishes for 
their success and well being. I note what you say about the tent and band 
and know that it is a foregone conclusion that the Reunion of 1909 next 
June will be a big success. 

If you happen to meet any of the boys, bid them a Merry Xmas and a 
Happy Xew Year for me. 

Yours as ever, 

Jno. p. Vaughan.

Dear Josh : 

Now that I have had my vacation, have gotten through the holiday rush 
and have kept you waiting a proper length of time, I'll try to write a few 
words to you and through you, to the class. 

For the past two years I have been engaged in banking in Saratoga Springs 
and have found this occupation increasingly interesting as one learns its 
possibilities. As I hope you know, the springs of the village have been taken 
over by the state as a Reservation, making these valuable mineral properties 
under state control. Through this move great things are expected in way 
of prosperity for the village as a health resort, and to the state for conserv- 
ing its resources. When some of my classmates become run down in health 
through stress of business and come here to recuperate I hope for the pleasure 
of seeing them. I am fortunate at times in seeing some of the fellows as 
they pass through to the Adirondacks or are here on business. I hope anyone 
coming in this vicinity will not fail to look me up either at my home or at my 
place of business, — the Citizens National Bank. 

During the winter I am very much interested in a Winter Club here which 
conducts a fine toboggan slide. It is considered the best South of Montreal

and for a fast ride of three-quarters of a mile just drop into town most any 
time during January or the first of February. 

It was my great pleasure to spend my last vacation in Virginia with my 
old roommate, Ed Moore, and there could be nothing more interesting than 
this big lumber camp set in the hills of Western Virginia near Hot Springs. 
The life there is something which I hope he will tell you about in his letter. 

Let me extend to you, Josh, and to all my classmates, my best wishes for 
their success and happiness. 

Yours very truly.

Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 2^, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

I laid aside the statistic sheets received some days since, until such time 
as a good opportunity would offer ieself to make reply to them. This variety 
of opportunity has not presented itself as yet, but I suddenly recalled 
my procrastinations of two years ago, which resulted in such a premptory 
demand from you for literature that I never ceased writing until I had indicted 
eight pages of plumber's romanticism. I tremble at the possibilities of a repe- 
tition of the offense and my sensitive soul even now shrinks and quakes with 
chagrin as I think of the cruel insinuations of such unfeeling mortals as 
Silvers and Maulsby et al, that that rather loquacious and verbose outburst of 
prose was written solely for vulgar publications. I can see them now in my 
mind's eye covertly watching — the cynical leer of the provinces in their 
crafty eyes, for another literary effusion, bearing to their gaze the smoke 
begrimed, inermost soul of a Pittsburgh patriarch. 

I will fool them — I will close this with the preamble, be that whatever it is. 
In inviolate secrecy, I slip you a few mundane personal facts. 

I am still single, the elusive cupid may have slipped off the further corner 
of the sphere for all I know ; the undeniable attributes of a resigned bachelor- 
hood are becoming accentuated in many ways; the lustre of the social in its 
modern sense is being dimmed by the growing glim of the universal kinship 
of the animal social in its broader sense (I defy you to analyze that) and the 
harmonies of normal life are wrecked by the incongruous adaption in the 
same year of the golf of senile decay and the basketball of second childhood. 

I feel sure that in the foregoing narrative I have been sufficiently obscure to 
commit myself to nothing criminal. 

With this I am done, except to say that the advanced rate of Pennsy mileage 
and the depleted price of lead pipe will not prevent my being present on 
November 14th at the victorious christening of the Palmer Stadium. 

Yours, 

All Walter.

Dear Josh : 

Your "Bertillion" blanks for identification plus the numerous other in- 
quiries received some time ago, and I must ask your pardon for not answer- 
ing sooner. 

The real cause for not writing sooner can readily be seen in the accom- 
panying kodak picture. The young lady made her appearance on Sunday, 
September 13, 1914, at Chapel time (11.00 A. M.), and you can wager that 
I've been more than hustling ever since. ' 

There is little or no news to tell you. My work has been along the same 
lines that I have been pursuing since my last letter to you. Althoug'h business 
has been a trifle dull the past summer, I am optimistic enough to believe that 

295 



this countr}- will enjoy the greatest boom in its history, as soon as this war is 
over. 

Wishing you success and prosperity as well as the entire Class of 1909, 
I am, 

Very sincerely j-ours, 

Philip B. Weaver.

Warren, Arizona, Dec. 3, 1914. 
Dear Josh : 

This autobiography has been delayed in the vain hope that something 
of enough moment to win that prize copy of the Record might break the 
even tenor of our way if I procrastinated long enough. Although nothing of 
the kind has transpired, still a "drool" of some sort is apparently recpired. 

The first several months after bursting forth from Columbia in 191 1 as a 
full fledged mining engineer, I spent very industriously dodging the ubiquit- 
our rebel in Northern Mexico. He finally got the drop on me however — 
this was in Pascual Orozco's heyday — and in a midnight dash for the border 
I shook the dust of Mexico off m> feet for what I hope will prove a long, 
long time. Since that hurried departure I have made headquarters near the 
border but safely on Uncle Sam's side of the fence. The Mexican rebel 
has given place to the American prospector in my scheme of things, and of the 
two the latter is much the hardest to dodge. As mining geologist for two of 
Arizona's copper companies, I have been hunting both for new ore in the old 
mines and for new mines to conquer. As the lure of gold (and copper) 
draws the prospector into the waste places — and believe me there are some 
waste places in the Southwest — it is my lot to follow him there, if he can- 
not be eluded. One gets a good wholesome respect for the wealth of imagina- 
tion bred in these old timers by close lifelong commune with the desert after 
he chased one of their will o' the wisps to earth over miles of trackless • 
desert. 

The only ought-niners who have strayed into these parts are Jimmie Beam 
and Cleve Dodge. The thought of the reunions and football games he was 
missing was too much for Jimmie, though, and he has left us for the efifete 
East. Cleve is in Mexico now not far over the line and we get together 
occasionally. I get mighty hungry now and then for a good old bicker session, 
but an invitation to come down and see the country is empty now. Arizona 
has gone dry ! 

Sincerely, 

Philip D. Wilson.

December 5, 1914. 
Dear Josh — or should I say, dear Fellows ? — Well, here goes : 
Dear Fellows : 

First of all I want to tell you a little story. It's about a man whom we 
all know and I think you will agree with me that he has missed his calling 
entirely and instead should have invented long e're this, a method for ex- 
tracting blood out of turnips and be making money in some way out of the 
blood. It was this way : I wrote what I considered a very nice personal 
letter to the person in question in answer to one from him, saying that in- 
asmuch as writing was not in my line, and most assuredly not the writing of 
interesting letters, and also that I had no pictures, that he would have to be 
content with my very best wishes for his success and the success of the 
individuals of the Class. Here's the postal I received in reply : "Any man 
who is a professor and can't write a letter to his friends for the Fifth Year 
Record, can't know an awful lot and ought to have taken a C.E. Course. I 
can get your picture from other sources. Fondly, lovingly, hopingly and 
prayerfully." With that little stinger, here goes : 

I think I'm supposed to tell something of my whereabouts work, habits, 
etc., whether it is of interest or not. So to it ! 

On leaving Princeton after the flap of the finest Tent in town had been 
dropped, I went to Deal Beach and spent a very enjoyable week visiting 
until time to go up to see the final game in New York. I then came home for 
a week and after straightening up my many (?) business affairs, jumped to 
the mountains of North Carolina for a rest of five weeks. This time was 
spent in sleeping, eating, golfing and tramping over the mountains. It was 
the calm before the storm. In the meantime war had broken out, and in 
South Carolina the political situation was getting hotter and hotter. I came 
home to do five good days' of work before the first Democratic Primary and 

300 



was on the run from early morning until the Polls closed, the daj' of the 
primary. After the close I sat in a box and counted the votes until two- 
thirty in the morning. We had won and South Carolina was freed of rotten 
officials and a gentleman had been elected to the Governor's chair for the 
first time in four years. 

It was not long then before College opened and my work began in 
earnest. There is not much to tell concerning my work at the University, 
except that until Thanksgiving I was kept very close with classroom duties 
three hours each morning and all of each afternoon helping with the football 
squad. The rest of the time- has been taken up in trying to find the ways 
and means for weathering the financial crisis that this part of the South 
is now going through. 

My cup is standing" on the mantle now and behind it is a framed picture of 
"Old North." Each time I come into my room I see it and I think of the 
dearest of all places and the best of all friends. I have not been able to carry 
out the promises I made in the tent, of giving it to a very attractive young 
lady and building a house around the two, only because I've not been able 
to make her say the word — or is it that our class has not found enough 
Queens to go around ? At any rate, I'm going to carry out that promise some 
day if the Fates will only help me. At present it does not look as though I 
will be able to get back to our next big reunion, but where there's a will they 
say there's a way, and I'm going to do the very best I know how to find that 
way. 

With kindest regards and best wishes to all you fellows from one who gets 
lonely for, and longs to hear, the voice of a Princeton man and especially one 
which belongs to a member of the finest of all classes. 

W^OODY. 

Josh : I would like to know what the "other sources" you referred to are. 
If you mean the picture which was taken at the tent, for the Good Lord's sake 
put the enclosed in instead. It was taken for the records of the University 
of S. C. this spring — a kind of a Prisoners Gallery effect. I wish I were 
where I could try to help you just a little with all this work you are doing. 

With best wishes to you and the family. 

Woody.

Bill has never missed a Reunion. 
Dear Josh : 

You would have that letter so here goes ! Fate has been on your side 
and I am home with water on the knee and plenty of time to think over past 
sins, present platitudes, and future prospects. 

You remember the old days Shorty Phillips worked overtime to blackmail 
me and succeeded in electing me "also ran" fusser of the class? Well tables 
have turned, Phillips is now seeking the companionship of the fickle, filmey, 
frilley, feminines while I try to spill shellac and paint over the U. S. and 
live a life of sufficient seriousness to have driven weaker men to drink. Not 
that T have given up the ladies, but quite vice-versa. They, with poor taste,

have married "sad" classmates and other equally devilish things. My social 
life is spent telling proud mama's and papa's how much their offspring 
resembles them, and hoping inwardly for the kid's sake that he will forgive me 
for that insult when he gets old and strong enough to resent it. 

Xow we come to the real object of this letter, which is to provoke pity. 
If any of my classmates know of a cross-eyed, bow-legged or otherwise 
attractive creature, who would care to divide sauerkraut, pig's knuckles, etc., 
for life with their German classmate (not of the rabid "Deutschland iiber 
Ally" kind), wire me her name and address, I will then triumphantly call 
for her in one of my yellow paint trucks, if the State has not by that time 
condemned our two remaining steeds like it has the others, for foot and 
mouth disease. 

In the beginning of this letter I said I was laid up with a sore foot. That 
I have not contracted the foot and month disease from my horses is evi- 
denced by this letter. My knee was badly wrenched while rough riding a 
week ago at the Squadron Armory. I am one of the Uhlans to whom the 
Iron Cross has not yet been awarded. The others are Otto Sprague who 
is in another troop and Edgar Baker, and Howard Turner who are in my 
troop. There are a very many other Princeton men of various classes in the 
organization. 

If this letter seems disconnected blame yourself. I have just made out 
that statistical blank and it was some job. I think those questions about the 
"prep" school of your father-in-law's father, the number of eye teeth your 
aunt has, whether your dog's nam^e is Fido and if not why not, are really 
unnecessary, even though they may be eugenical. For once I was glad I 
was single. The courage it must have taken to pry into the family secrets 
of two families, your wife's as well as your own, must have been stupendous. 
And that Income Card! Just when you had congratulated yourself that the 
loss of your job and the filthy lucre connected with it, on account of this 
accursed war, was known to but a few intimates, the class secretary asks you 
to state what enormous amount you are now earning after more than five 
years of conscientious labor ! 

But to be serious for a moment before closing (as I imagine George 
Armstrong probably, has another long letter this year) I have been hard at 
work since June 1909, trying to put H-E-L-L into SHELLAC for some of my 
competitors. In my spare time I have gone into a little political work, as for 
example stumping for Whitman with the College Men's league in the last 
campaign, etc. Golf and Riding are my exercises. Possibly you have deduced 
from my letter that I am not married. If yon have you are correct. While 
there is life there is hope and by our Centennial I hope to report progress. 

Arrange this letter, as usual, alphabetically and no one will read it, which 
will be just as well. I never would have raved on to this extent were I 
not so tired of being confined in the house that I had to take revenge on 
somebody. 

Vale ! 
(Wliich dear C.E., means "Peace be with you.") 

Bill Zinsser.

BACK EVERY YEAR 

ATTENDANCE AT REUNIONS 

The following table speaks for itself. First year 183 ; second year 
144; third year 182; fourth year 157; fifth year 199. No class has 
ever had an average attendance of 173 men for the first five years 
out of college. 

We fully believe that a once-a-year-Reunion-in-Princeton is the 
back-bone of Class Organization. It has been the ambition of the 
Reunion Committe to get every man that graduated back to Prince- 
ton at least once every five years. Only twenty-three graduates have 
not returned to our Reunions, and eight of these have been back 
on other occasions. So practically only fifteen have found it im- 
possible mainly on account of distance to return to Princeton from 
1909 to 1914. Our hearty congratulations to our Efficiency and 
Reunion Committees on such a remarkable record. 

Back of all the good times at our yearly meetings, the Committee's 
one purpose is to keep the Class together and alive to the interests 
and needs of Princeton. We realize more and more at each 
Reunion how much we owe our Alma Mater and as the years go on 
we know that Ought Nine will be in the front rank when Princeton 
needs us. 

Realizing this responsibility from the beginning, our Committee 
has spared no efforts to make our Reunions interesting for every- 
body, knowing that getting men to come back would be the best 
means of keeping them in constant touch with the University. Each 
year our meetings are carefully planned, expense kept to a minimum 
and within the reach of all, so as to get every possible man back 
there in June. Our five years' efi^orts to make each one realize 
that it is only through his individual co-operation that we can hope 
to hold the Class together, has brought our Organization up to 
a high state of efficiency. May the good work go on. 

The change of costume each year plays a part in getting many 
men back, because from its very nature it means new life, new 
thought and new action. Something different each year. If we

AVERAGE ATTENDANCE FOR FIRST FIVE 



YEARS— 173 MEN 



kept our costume permanent, (which would not lessen the cost) we 
would soon fall into a rut and our Reunions would have a same- 
ness that would show lack of interest very soon. 

This would be especially true for the man who comes a long 
distance. A permanent costume is generally an excuse for a com- 
mittee who has not had the time to think up a few ideas. We hope 
to continue our change of costume each year till the Decennial and 
even then it will be hard to give up. 

Too much credit cannot be given our two Ringmasters — Roy 
Dickinson and Hatch TreadAvell for their splendid work on the 
tent platform at each Reunion. It is almost tradition for other classes 
to go to the '09 tent and see "What's Doing." Their untiring efforts 
in entertaining has always meant a Successful Reunion. May it 
ever be thus. 

To sum up — if Ought Nine men agree on any subject it is 
Reunion. While some claim the Band may have a wheeze and others 
advocate the absence of beer, and others bashfully insist on long 
legged costumes — still they are all minor differences and will be 
worked out as time rolls on. We are united in one purpose and that 
purpose is to get Back Every Year, because we are conscious of our 
privilege and know what it means to the Class and to Princeton 
to spend three days in June with the Class of 1909. This table tells 
the stor}^ of how we have come back.

HONOR ROLL 

For five years these seventy-three men have never missed a Reunion. 
We realize reunion attendance is dependent on many conditions 
especially business and distance from Princeton. Yet due acknowl- 
edgement should be made these men who have come Back Each Year. 
The Reunion Committee will post the names of these men in the 

310 



Tent each June and at our Decennial Reunion a substantial recog- 
nition will be awarded to those who have come back every year. 

In the meanwhile the Class heartily congratulates these men large- 
ly through whose efforts we are holding up our proud title of the 
"Best Reunion Class."

SIXTH ANNUAL DINNER 

New York, Feb. 13, 1915. 
Hotel ]\Iartmique. 

With all four Class Officers present for the first time, and sixty- 
eight men in attendance including Big Heyniger from Corning, 
2\. Y., the Sixth Annual Dinner of the Class of 1909 was unani- 
mously voted the Best Yet. "Norm" Armour's versatile wit as 
Toastmaster was at a high pitch all evening. The Philadelphia 
contingent lead by President Prizer and his seven faithful follow- 
ers each disguised behind a large false nose with moustache and 
chin whiskers P-raded around the room in lock-step after we were 
seated. Their remarkable speech in concert was the big hit of the 
evening. Their famous choir which sang the Faculty Song with 
local verses on Ought Nine men brought down the house. Full 
edition is appended. President Prizer, through whose efforts the 
loyal Eight came over from Philly gave a good talk on our splendid 
get-to-gether spirit. Norm introduced Paul Tomlinson, our noted 
Author of Boys' Books, by quoting extracts from local papers com- 
menting on his ability. Paul retaliated with a story he had written 
on Norm, the Kaiser, and himself in which every few minutes came 
the famous line "Norm Armour, you haven't changed a bit." 

Harry Trimble told us some good stories, and the Secretary for 
the nth time requested data for the General Biographical Catalogue 
and the plans for the Sixth Family Reunion were told. 

Squire Cass who came all the way from Albany, sang the old 
songs that mean so much to us. To have Newt with us in the East 
from now on is the best news we have had for many a day 

Herb Rankin gave a detailed report on the conditions in Germany 
and the interesting experiences he had to go through while coming 
to the U. S. last week. Herb is sure some speaker. 

Harold Medina "pulled'' a good one and then summed up in a 
legal style the remarkable progress that the members in the Class 
were making in all the professions and the business world. 

The moving pictures of Our Fifth Reunion were shown on the 

312 



screen through the medium of Ted Slocum's own moving picture 
machine called the Phantoscope. Between the pictures,- the custom- 
ary advertising slides were shown with local hits. 

Harry Osborn gave a good wholesome heart to heart talk on the 
condition of the Memorial Fund and put it right up to the Class 
to get busy. He displayed a chart that made us all sit up and think, 
showing that we have only thirty-two per cent of the Class con- 
tributing. Every man not enrolled was earnestly requested to send 
m a dollar at once and raise it to five or ten or fifty if possible in 
the future, but to enroll NOW. We are out to raise our percentage 
to seventy-five percent before June. Are you doing your part ? 

The Eureka Trio headed by Old Reliable Thomas Fletcher gave 
"That Water Melon Vine" and "Say! Wouldn't That be a Dream," 
and brought a big round of applause. Then we all gathered up close 
to the stage and were treated to the most unic^ue and best program 
of stunts ever pulled off. We must here put on record for Hatch 
Treadwell that neither he or any other member gave an old drule. 
Everything was new for the occasion. We all missed Roy Dickin- 
son who was delayed an extra day on the boat from Nassau and 
pent the first wireless message to the Class which was received with 
big cheers. Our other telegram was from Pani Hutcheson who for 
six years has never missed remembering us at our Annual Dinner. 
James Maury showed us a living model of our Reunion Costume 
for next June which was voted a big success. Then Hatch followed 
with a new Kelly story that will rival "Kimmel" in future popu- 
larity. Artie Samuels disguised as a Ventriloquist with Jim Maury 
as the Dummy brought the best laugh of the evening with his "Very 
Good Eddy ! Very Good !" as he calmly knocked the ashes off his 
cigar with faultless imitation of the famous Fred Stone. Hatch 
and Doug Ballin gave a new war sketch wath newspaper opinions by 
dift'erent men in the Class, that made another big hit. Frank Cun- 
ningham gave a sterling exhibition of dramatic art in a new powerful 
prose recitation about "Bennie and the Ourangatang." Everybody 
had a chance to show what he could do and when fifty men 
remained till after 12.30 A. M., Yea, Bo! It was indeed a night of 
nights ! As usual Turk House was the last to leave and was still 
playing "But His Chief Delight," at 1.20 A. M., when the Sixth 
Annnual Dinner passed with history as one to be remembered for 
many a day. 



313 



A FEW OF THE VERSES SUNG 

Here's to Josh, our lively Sec. 
He's always on the job, by Heck. 
He never misses any tricks, 
He's been a Sec. since he was six. 

Here's to Prexy Prizer too. 
Philadelphia's biggest stew. 
He often goes upon a spree, 
And drinks a dozen cups of tea. 

Here's to Norman Armour, who 
Was gallant captain of our crew. 
He likes the classic shades the best. 
He's rooming now with Andy West. 

Here's to Nat our polo king. 
His hat is always in the ring. 
On horsey topics he just dotes. 
In fact his meals consist of oats. 

Here's to Victor Herbert Samuels, 

Our expert in conducting manuels. 

As a leader of our Reunion Band, 

He's certainly there with the musical sand. 

Here's to C. Roy Diskin.yc»w, 

At entertaining he's a son-of-a-gun, 

In "Blacka-de-boot" he makes things hum, 

But we don't want to "wait till Martin comes." 

Here's to Hatch, that funny guy. 
See him close the other eye. 
He just can't make his lamps behave. 
He's funny like an open grave. 

Here's to Tommy Tomlinson, 
With his pen he makes the mon. 
Life to him is full of joys. 
They say he's very fond of boys. 

Here's to James Robb Maury, who 
Has developed into our greatest stew, 
He's also ought nine's wittiest wit, 
And always makes a h — — of a hit.

FIFTH ANNUAL DINNER 

When sixty out of seventy-seven, who attended our Fifth Annual 
Feast at the Hotel Martinique last Saturday night, remain till eleven 
thirty, surely this is convincing proof of a thoroughly successful 
dinner. We have increased our attendance regularly each year at 
these dinners and to have the largest attendance yet at our Fifth 
is a sure sign of a healthy growth. When Prizer, McNeely, Gay, 
Ottinger and "Ritchie" Smith come all the way from Philly, and 
"Big" Heyniger from Corning, "Sim" Rising from Vermont, 
"Wheat" Chambers from Bridgeport, "Ike" Stauffer from Altmar, 
N. Y., to see the old crowd again. All this shows that when '09 
holds a Class Dinner only war and pestilence can keep them away. 

The "garden room" at the Martinique was tastefully decorated 
with Class numerals, banners, etc., while on the walls were hung 
pictures of our various Reunions and some Undergraduate Days. 
Telegrams and letters from those unable to be present were exhibited 
on tables. In the center of the horseshoe table was a large tiger 
with electric lights flashing from his eyes, and wearing an old orange 
and black "horse" hat. The whole setting was ideal. 

"Norm" Armour's usual ready wit and humor as toastmaster easily 
showed the advantages of a Harvard Law School education and was 
certainly appreciated. He spared no one. 

Harry Osborn gave a good talk on the Memorial Fund Campaign 
which meant business. His Committee needs every possible dollar 
and Princeton is looking to us for it. Don't let the Memorial card 
go by unanswered. It's our one big opportunity of doing some real 
service for Princeton. 

Ralph Gamble spun a couple of good yarns and which were 
much appreciated. 

Then the Secretary talked as long as they would let him, congratu- 
lating the men in the Class on their wonderful attendance, their 
achievements during the past year, and expatiated on the most im- 
portant National Event next June. The Fifth Reunion of 1909 — 
the best in our own or Princeton's history. The costumes were de- 

316 



scribed in detail, with sketches, and met with unanimous approval. 

Ed Brown's peerless quartet was never better and rounded out 
the whole evening in great shape. 

Shortly after the Secretary's oration, the House Detective came 
in with a warrant and put "Hatch" under arrest. Poor Harry 
remonstrated but to no avail, until the Reunion Committee convinced 
him it was their "put up job." 

Dinner over the Big Feature of the evening followed. All the 
chairs were drawn close to the stage like a Triangle performance in 
Lhe Casino. "The Mystery of the Orange Mark" in four acts was 
cleverly executed. A real overture played by "Sammy" Samuels, 
footlights, costumes, printed programs and soft music where neces- 
sary, and all proved it to be a regular show. The flawless acting of 
Treadwell disguised as a Jew salesman for Kresge & McNeill, Roy 
Dickinson as a Demon Freshman, Frank Cunningham disguised as 
Maggie "Snooks," Josh Brush as "Jack" White, and all the scenes 
abounding in local wit and clever lines, brought applause after 
applause. In fact the management of the hotel begged us to put the 
show on, downstairs in their Dutch Grill, replacing their carbaret. 
Never was there a performance more appreciated and the men who 
took part in it have the heartiest thanks from the Class for all tiieir 
laborious efforts spent in making it such a decided success. 

Show over, Hatch and Roy conducted a Reunion Tent and had 
Doug Ballin give his near Dutch one on the "Pay-no-more Canal," 
Wheat Chambers gave a one minute talk in Chinese, Roy with 
several new ones, and even Hatch himself put a new one across 
Wagner and Passerella sang the good old campus songs and after 
everybody had a chance to speak who wanted to, we drew round the 
piano and finished the evening with Senior singing and living over 
again those four memorable years. Each dinner we've had has been 
better than the last but it was the unanimous opinion that Our Fifth 
Dinner was the most interesting and enthusiastic ever held and 
unite-1 the Class stronger than ever in our purpose to serve 
Princeton.

Gage Olcott '09 died of pneumonia at the home of his parents in 
Brookline, Mass., on March 8, 1914. Mr. Olcott was born in 
Chicago, April 8, 1887. He prepared for college at Montclair High 
School, Montclair, N. J., and took the academic course at Princeton. 
Since graduation he has been with the Boston office of Brown 
Brothers, the banking house, and has been living with his parents

rainy and disagreeable night, and there he contracted the cold which 
developed into pneumonia and resulted in his death. He made a 
hard fight against the disease, and his powerful physique undoubted- 
ly helped prolong his life. A serious operation finally became neces- 
sary, and about two hours after it had been successfully performed, 
a fit of coughing ruptured an artery, with fatal results. 

Gage was the author of a book entitled "Meditation of a Young 
Man," published by Houghton Mifflin & Co. several months after his 
death. It is a collection of his diary entries that have been compiled 
by his father. As a revelation of depth and a clarity of thought 
and expression which probably his best friends in the Class little 
suspected, they are very interesting indeed. This little book is surely 
a very real contribution to the record being made by our Class. 

Class of 1909, Princeton University, Resolution 

Whereas, God in his infinite wisdom has seen fit to take from us 
our beloved classmate. Gage Olcott, and 

Whereas, he had endeared himself to us all by his unfailing 
cheerfulness, his capacity for close friendships, good nature, and 
his enthusiastic loyalty to 1909 and Princeton, therefore be it 

Resolved, by the members of the Class of 1909 of Princeton 
University that, in the death of Gage Olcott, Princeton has lost a 
loyal son and we, his classmates, have lost a faithful and well loved 
friend, and be it further 

Resolved, that we extend our heartfelt sympathy to his bereaved 
family, and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to his family, 
and that they be published in the Alumni Weekly.

John Donald MacDonald died suddenly on the tenth day of 
August, 1912, as the result of a fall from a four story building 
which caused his instant death. 

He was born in New York City, June 3, 1887, and prepared for 
Princeton at Columbia Grammar School, entering the University 
in the fall of 1905 in the C.E. Department. He was very active in 
Freshman athletics, being a member of the Class Football and Base- 
ball teams, therein winning his numerals. He was Manager of the 
Glee Club, a member of the Ivy Club and prominent on the Senior 
Council. After graduation he joined his father, J. H. MacDonald 
in the building and constructing business, at 357 West i6th Street, 
New York City, in which he was actively engaged till the tragic 
accident in August, 1912. 

The qualities which endeared him to us have made his death a 
personal loss to every man in the Class. No one of us will ever 
forget his bright smile and his "Howdy Jim" that always went with 
it. No matter what trouble he was always the same cheerful light- 
hearted Mac. 

It is with heavy heart that we herewith record the death of Jack 
MacDonald a loyal member and classmate. 

The Class extends our deepest sympathy to his family in this their 
great loss.

James Archibald died on Feb. 19, 1913, at his home in Hightstown, 
N. J. He was born in Clarivsburg, N. J., on Sept. 2, 1887. Son of 
David Kent Archibald of Bordentown, N. J., and Mary Catherine 
Messier of Clarksburg, N. J. He prepared at Peddie Institute. 
Entered Princeton in 1905. Archibald left college in June, 1906, on 
account of illness. He was an Instructor in Peddie Institute for 
several years.

death, and record herewith our deepest sympathy to his family in 
their sorrow.

OCCUPATIONS AND INCOMES 

Looking over our list we were surprised to learn that the lawyers 
outnumber any other vocation, although they must admit that the 
manufacturers and business men come a close second and third. All 
told, fifty-five have taken up the practice of law. In only four cases 
do we learn that men changed their minds after a year or more at 
law school. Practically all of them found their life work at the 
start. 

We recall with pride the many Ought Nine men who made records 
on the law reviews of their respective Universities and already note 
the remarkable progress these men have made in their practice, one 
at present an examining attorney for the Interstate Commerce 
Commmision. 

This list will prove useful for those seeking legal advice.

Following close on their heels come the men who are engaged in 
manufacturing, either as proprietors of their respective businesses 
or as subordinates in the field of production — 50 in all. We are also 

326 



adding the general product of manufacture after their names as all 
things being equal we believe we should encourage business reciproc- 
ity whenever possible. 

You should be able to find any article here from an automobile 
to a s^ood cigar.

Then come the forty-seven business men. Under that appellation

importers, buyers, salesmen, etc. It is really a broad title as very 
few are engaged along the same line and their various vocations 
prevent us from classifying them. Here too, we include the general

Closely crowding our business men to our great surprise come the 
engineers, civil, mechanical, mining and electrical and efficiency. 
The future builders of Panama canals and Brooklyn bridges. The 
Class has generally had the impression that our engineers were in 
the small minority and it is with great satisfaction that we note their 
increasing members, as the Secretary always has had a warm spot 
in his heart for the hard working C.E. Any man wanting a well, 
ditch, sewer, sidewalk, gas tank, railroad, watermain, country home, 
office and factory building, or mines developed, had better consult 
these forty-four enterprising engineers.

Five energetic farmers, Annin, Howard, Hutchinson, King and 
C. H. Scott, give us a representation in the agricultural line. 

Four men are holding Government appointments and one elected 
in the legislature — La Roe, Belden, Oliphant and McGee. 

Five of our number still continue their studies along their chosen 
lines — R. H. Smith, Prahl, Shellabarger, Roberts and Sanford. 

Our architects are Arms, Baker and Peirce. Our only artist is 
Selden. We have three men, Boas, Olcott and Dunlop helping 
the transportation facilities in the country, two men Hagenbuch and 
Rockwell who are ranching in the West and two are in the brewing 
business — Hoffmann and Dougherty. 

Our publishers are Funk and E. C. Kelly; our accountants and 
general secretaries are Bosworth, Butler and F. Myers. We have 
Glaser in the dramatic field and Vaughn in the baseball field and 
one soldier, Bill Hallimond. Finally we come to our miscellaneous 
troup whose vocations are unknown to the Secretary or who stand 
alone in their respective businesses.

In connection with our occupations, the Secretary has requested 
each man to state the actual amount of his yearly incomes since 
graduation. One hundred and seventy-one anonymous cards were 
received in all and while we do not feel a table of this character 
should be accepted as a general average it is very interesting to note 
the rate of increase in the various vocations each year. 

An interesting comparison is made with the classes of 1901, 1906, 
1908, whose average fifth year incomes are tabluated below: 

No. of men 

1901— $2,039.42 135 

1906 — 2,225.80 251 

1908 — 2,086.51 132 

1909 — 2,157.00 171 

It will be seen that our average is based on the replies of 171 men 
which is really more accurate than the averages of the other classes, 
with the exception of '06. So until a more uniform rule is 
adopted for all classes, comparisons at present are only very 
general. 

As to the occupations that yield the largest income. Two out of 
two publishers gave the desired information. Their average is 
$8,882.00. 

Next are the advertising men. Seven out of seven replied and 
their average income is $2,862.00. Comparison with classes of 
tgo8 and 1906 show that the average of all three classes in advertis- 
ing is within $100 of each other. So we feel that this income is the 
most accurate of all as one hundred per cent of the men replied and 
it also checks up with the results obtained in other classes. 

The table gives the order of incomes of the other vocations. As 
only fourteen occupations were mentioned on the card we had to 
follow out along those lines unless otherwise indicated. 

331 



The highest single earned annual income was $15,000. From one 
of the men engaged in the publishing business. We have two men 
over S6,ooo, one an engineer, the other a lawyer. Four $5,000 a year 
men one in advertising, one a business man, one a manufacturer, one 
in insurance and real estate. Fourteen men are earning $3,000 
per year or over. 

The work of the world as we are doing it and the corresponding 
remuneration is presented in tabular form. We earnestly hope that 
all men who failed to send in their cards will positively do so on the 
Tenth Year Record as they can see that this table is only accurate 
when everybody is heard from.

GEOGRAPHICAL, CITY AND STATE DISTRIBU- 
TION, 1915 

While the Class is scattered over thirty-six states and seven 
foreign countries it is interesting to note that over 250 men are 
located within 100 miles of Princeton. 

With such a large number of men living so near and all four 
Class Officers within easy reach of Princeton, our mobilization for 
Reunions should be comparatively easy and mean a great deal 
towards strengthening our Class Organization.

OUR BACHELORS 

2^ — LESS THAN TWO THIRDS OF US LEFT — 2^ 

This list is published simply to give our poor bachelors a chance ! 
The married men have been in the limelight in our previous records 
and our bachelors practically neglected. 

So in the event of some fair maiden glancing at our depleted 
ranks, in probable search for a life partner, we trust this list will 
make it easier for her to make her selection. 

While there are about 146 benedicts, we assure her that there are 
many eager candidates left, and urge that she hurry ere it is too 
late.

ORGANIZED ATHLETICS AND GENERAL 

SPORTS 

The questions under this title were asked for the purpose of 
emphasizing the necessity of daily systematic exercise while we 
rush on in our business and professional life. Attention is called 
to the surprising fact that less than one third of the Class are engaged 
in any regular form of exercise andonly twenty play on any organ- 
ized teams. 

Tennis and golf are the favorite sports with baseball a close third. 
Other favorites are bowling, squash, cricket, wrestling, soccer, swim- 
ming, riding, basketball, hockey and fox hunting, tobogganing, fish- 
ing, shooting. Jim Maury will probably say that we put fox hunting 
in to make it hard but we assure James to the contrary and urge him 
to participate in all the above. 

The following testimonials as to the ill or beneficial after-effects 
of college athletics prove that the majority of the Class is of the 
opinion that they were benefited. 

L. P. Scott — "The ill effects of injuries received including the dislocated 

knee have been very slight when compared with the physical development 

induced by strenuous exercise in the field. I believe football has been 

beneficial to me." 
Ed Booth — "I received benefits from college athletics. The ability to act 

quickly and decisively under stress of circumstances has been a great 

help on several occasions and credit the same to a great extent to football 

training." 
Nick Floyd — "Beneficial if anything." 
Spencer Gordon — ."No ill effects." 
Charlie Vezin — "Have not had to take medicine or call on a doctor since 

leaving college." 
Ike Stauffer — "Cross country running was mighty good preparation for 

hoofing fifteen rriiles per day over the job." 
Fat Wagner — "No after effects." 
Big Heyniger — "In baseball I threw the muscles from shoulder and had to 

pitch underhanded." 
Laurie Dowd — "Nothing but beneficial after effects. No heart, lung or kidney 

disease." 
J. Lee Chapman — "I think the part I took in college athletics helped con- 

344 



siderable in pulling me through an operation after several attacks of 

appendicitis." 
Burt Carr — "No ill effects." 
Bill Keys — "None whatever." 
Dick Hartshorne — '"No doubt as to my having been benefited by rowing. 

Increased by general development. No heart or lung trouble, due I feel to 

short distance of races at Princeton. 
Gene Kelly — "I believe effects were beneficial." 
Laurie Lawrence — "I feel that college athletics benefited my health and 

gave me confidence to participate in all contests athletic, professional 

and political." 
Nat Ewing — "Knee operated for floating cartilidge and laid up for two years." 
Charlie Coxe — "111 — too much." 

Schuyler Phillips — "Injured my right hand playing baseball Junior year." 
Tug Murray — "Much benefited in general health from all athletics." 
Al Walter — "Effects beneficial especially results of baseball teams and 

canoeing." 
Jim Woodrow — "Most assuredly no effects." 
Wyckoff — "Only beneficial results." 

Frank Hardison — "Slight weakness of leg from football." 
LuD Strong — "After playing three weeks with freshman football team got 

blood poison from coloring matter in stocking by kicks on shin. Fully 

recovered by Junior year. No ill effects since." 
Ken Stern — "Beneficial results — before entrance was undeveloped, flat 

chested, etc. Now fairly husky." 
Jene Tittmann — "In June, 1913, over exerted in swimming and given two 

hours to live due to enlarged heart caused by running at high school 

and Princeton. Recovered in three weeks and in perfect condition now. 

Advised to exercise to keep in trim."

SPECIAL VALUABLE INFORMATION 

1. What Relatives Have You Who Went to Princeton f 
Over seventy men had relatives (from father to third-cousm-once- 

removed) who went to Princeton. This question was asked because 
of the bearing on the next and also to enable the Secretary to trace 
any men in case of change of address. 

2. What Persuaded You to Go to Princeton? 

This question was asked for the purpose of recalling the particu- 
lar reason that made you decide to go to Princeton, in hopes that 
you too will constantly use your influence to send other men there. 

You will note that much of the influence that brought '09 men to 
Princeton was caused by graduate relatives and individual friends, a 
fact that should make each one of us alive to this opportunity of 
serving Princeton. We take our hats ofif to those men who per- 
suaded fourteen Ought Niners to go to Princeton. 

Dr. MacKenzie, Jesse Lynch Williams, Bertran Williams, Max 
Kratz 99, Sam Shellabarger '09, Amos Hoagland '07, Bob Sterrett 
'07, Harold Tenney '07, Schweikert '03, Whitney Baker '03, Tom 
Hardenbergh '04, Howard Peake '04, J. W. Mcllvain and F. J. 
O'Hara. 

May many men in future Princeton classes thank some member 
of the Class of 1909 for doing likewise. 

The following reasons caused us to go to Princeton : 

1 Family influence 44 

2 Because most of our friends went there 21 

3 Love for Princeton and its reputation 20 

4 The Spirit of the Place 18 

5 A visit there and Senior Singing 15 

6 Individuals 14 

7 The principal or teacher in Prep School was a Princeton man 7 

8 Proximity 7 

9 Grew into the idea from childhood 5 

10 Lawrenceville School 3 

1 1 Chance 3 

12 Athletics 3 

346 



Desired a technical training with broadening effect of University 
life. 

Woodrow Wilson was President. 

Do not know but have ever since I can remember I have always 
wanted to go there and still have that feeling. 

A story in the Tiger. 

Wanted to go to a good college. 

Honor system. 

All round education. 

Presbyterian college, as it is known in the South. 

Statement of a Lehigh graduate that Princeton was the only 
college to attend. 

3. Have You Been Directly Responsible for Sending Other Men 
to Princeton — Financially or Otherzvise? 

The good work has already started. Forty-eight men have already 
used their influence in sending some other man to the University. 
At least a dozen have lent financial assistance. May our Decennial 
Record show a considerable increase to this already good start. 

When you hear of a good man, use every influence to get him to 
go to Princeton. Get in touch with the Committee on Schools of the 
Graduate Council who will help you follow him up. Our individual 
endeavor in getting good men means everything to the future of 
Princeton. 

4. Suggestions for Improving Our Reunions. 

1. Get Herb Morrow to sing a song. 

2. Better Band. 

3. Cut out Colored Entertainment on Sunday. 

4. Quiet Class Sleeping Quarters. 

5. Cut out the Beer. 

6. All but six want to go back to Princeton each June. 

7. Divide the Class into groups geographically and have them 

march together in the P-rade and do stunts together in the 
tent. 

8. Cannot be improved. 

Number 8 was the answer of no men. It is most gratifying and 
encouraging to our Committee to have so many express such an 
opinion. While the confidence of the Class in their ability will give 
them more enthusiasm than ever before, we do want every member 
to continually give us suggestions and help make our Reunions bigger 
and better each year.

5- Suggestions for Furthering the Welfare of Princeton. 

More money for library and endowment. Smaller proportion of 
expenditures for buildings. Try to get more Western men and 
Public School graduates. 

Abolish compulsory chapel. 

It must be more closely related to the life of the American people 
as a whole — a system of exchange professors, particularly with 
Western Colleges and Universities. This would increase Princeton's 
reputation and keep it from becoming provincial or sectional. 

A University Club. 

Improve the Engineering Course. More practical work for C. E. 
Students. 

Get more Princeton men in Politics. 

Strict adherence to Wilson's policies. 

Cut out the clannishness that did not use to be there. More courses 
in Law, Mechanical, Mining and Chemical Engineering. 

Central advertising bureau for furnishing local Alumni with 
Princeton literature for distribution. 

Cut out Upper Class Clubs. 

Have more men like Dean West sent out in the West to lecture. 
The Dean's visit made a very favorable impression and he spoke 
before many schools. 

Make the entrance system correspond with the theory of under- 
graduate work. Less dependence on entrance conditions and more 
on work that has been done in secondary schools. 

Abolish old customs. 

Dignified magazine advertising. 

Beat Harvard in Football and send the crew to Poughkeepsie. 

Allow a student in good standing to play or work for money 
during vacations. 

More books in library, uniform salaries for faculty members of 
same grade. Additional allowance based on service following system 
of U. S. Army and Navy. 

Help present administration abolish paternalism started by other 
presidents. 

Less hysteria on the subject of winning athletic teams. 

Spread knowledge that Princeton is not a Rich Man's college. 

Get Woodrow Wilson back. 

More money for brains less for buildings. 

Bring "horsing" back. Cut out too much luxury at Clubs. 

348 



More vital religion. Greater incentive in spiritual things. Don't 
allow bible classes to develop solely along critical lines. 

Reduce membership of Halls and base it on intellectuality. 

More of the kind of publicity it used to get when Wilson was 
President. Then a practical training school now an academic insti- 
tution. 

New college library. 

Keep up the spirit which I found in one year. I don't often say 
it but three years in Lafayette don't mean as much to me as that one. 
I don't believe you can ever make a Princeton man anything else. 

Establish a School of Agriculture. 

Upper Class Clubs for Social purposes only. A separate Dining 
Hall for each Class. Further democratic spirit. 

More official recognition of scholarship as by precedence on 
academic affairs — representation in undergraduate bodies, etc. 



349 



RELIGION 

The Class as a whole was very patient in answering the thousand 
and one questions previously asked but when the subject of religion 
was brought up, quite a few protested. 

It has been our purpose at all Reunions to try to enlarge the nar- 
row ideas that we get by the daily routine of business and to broaden 
our views on the subject of life in general. At our yearly meet- 
ings in Princeton we have begun to see that there are other things 
in life worth while besides the elusive dollar. Interest in the welfare 
of our fellowmen is gradually growing and we are taking more 
part in the affairs of the community. The important questions under 
religion were asked to make us think. As several answering the 
blanks wrote, "I believe I should be a church member," we hope 
that more serious thought of religion will be given by the Class to 
this important subject. 

This table shows the number of men answering with their denom- 
inations : 

Presbyterian . 62 

Episcopalian 55 

Baptist 10 

Congregationalist 7 

Catholic 6 

Methodist 4 

Unitarian 4 

Lutheran 4 

German Reformed 3 

Dutch Reformed 3 

Non Sectarian i 

Christian Science i 

Jewish I 

Agnostic 2 

Over fifty-two men in the Class are engaged in works with Boys' 
Clubs, Y. M. C. A. and Big Brother Movement. 

With three missionaries in the Class like Frank Niles, Frank 
Laubach and Bayard Dodge, it is difficult to believe there are thirty- 
one in the Class whose attitude towards foreign missions Is of 
unconcern, although 148 are strongly in favor of them. We 
wish every one could have heard these men speak at our Fourth 
Reunion. The splendid self-sacrifice and noble purpose of these 
men must stir up enthusiasm of us all in the subject of missions and 
deserves the hearty support of every man in the Class.

TRAVEL 

The average number of states visited by the members of the Class 
was sixteen. Over seventy-eight have traveled in Europe, eleven in 
Asia and six in Africa. Three had been around the world. Sixty- 
two men have made the trip to Canada, twelve to Cuba and Panama 
and seventeen to Mexico. 

To sum up over half of the Class have seen about one-third of 
their own country and considerable of foreign parts, 

Harry Black, Don Gilpin and Ned King are our best globe trotters.

1909 CLASS MEMORIAL FUND 

Our present report indicates that general progress is being made, 
not only in the raising of actual cash but also in the increase of the 
proportion of men subscribing to the fund. 

At our class meeting, held on June 13th, at Princeton, the pro- 
position was submitted that we should become party to the plan for 
the erection of a new dormitory on the campus, seventy-five feet 
north of Brown Hall. The University during the past year has had 
the plan of this dormitory in mind and has been extremely anxious 
that the various classes, from 1902 to 1912 inclusive, with the excep- 
tion of 1905, who have pledged themselves for a $17,000.00 entry, 
should go into the scheme of this new dormitory and increase their 
subscription to $22,000.00, the time for the raising of which is to be 
extended five more years, or, in our case until June, 1924. The cost 
of the building will be $220,000.00 and will consist of ten entries 
at a cost of $22,000.00 per entry. A circular giving full details of the 
building plans is inserted. After a full and careful discussion of the 
proposition it was moved and resolved that we should become party 
to the same and thus co-operate towards the best interests of the 
University. The building is tc be erected as soon as $100,000.00 is 
paid in by the classes. This will probably be within two years as over 
$60,000.00 is already at hand. 

The purpose and object of this fund has, therefore, at last taken 
definite and concrete form. The time will soon be at hand when we 
may go to Princeton and see in process the building of an entry 
which owes its "existence" to our support. It will stand, firstly, 
as a memorial to our class ; secondly, as a means of ofifering accom- 
modation to many more men on the campus, and thirdly, as a 
source of regular income, through rentals, to the university. The 
advantages gained are worth our consistent and generous support. 

The Treasurer begs to report that the amount of cash on hand, 
including interest allowed us as of July i, 1915, amounts to $3,868.07 
(deposited with the U. S. Trust Company, New York City). We 
attach herewith a list of the present subscribers. The percentage of 

357 



subscribers to the total number of men in the class now stands at 
thirty-five per cent. Although very marked gains have been made 
recently (the percentage of subscribers having doubled since Febru- 
. ary i, 1914) at the same time we shall not have accomplished our 
end until every man in the class is represented in this gift.

SHORTHAND NOTES OF SIXTH REUNION 

With 121 men back, making an average attendance for six years of 
164 men, the Sixth Family Reunion of Oughty-nine was the most 
successful off year reunion ever held — even to the band ! All Prince- 
ton was surprised at our showing and when we went by the grand- 
stand in our famous chef costume with the "Base of Supplies" in the 
form of a hot-dog wagon, everybody thought it was our fifth reunion. 
The standard, "I didn't raise my dog to be a sausage," made quite 
a hit. 

Without even the aid of the coon quartette, the tent at 27 Univee 
Place was going every minute on Saturday night, every class visit- 
ing us as usual and enjoyed he new drules of Roy, Hatch, Sam and 
Jim. Although the zobo vegetable band blew up early in the even- 
ing, the instruments served their purpose, as they were awarded as 
prizes for the best drules later on. We couldn't keep the crowd back, 
so eager was everyone to compete. The tent the whole evening was 
run with the same excellent system that always characterizes our '09 
reunions. 

An informal class meeting on Sunday brought the reunion to a 
close. Sam Hinton won the Long-Distance Cup, — from Chicago, 
whence he has come for four reunions. The Class voted to send a 
letter to the Department of State asking that a search be made for 
Bill Hallimond, now wounded and prisoned with ihe Germans, also 
that the Secretary be instructed to take up a subscription to send a 
motor cycle to Frank Laubach, now missionary in the Philippines. It 
was also voted to increase our Memorial Fund to $22,500 and extend 
the time five years longer. The meeting was a decided success and 
all voted enthusiastically to hold the Biggest Seventh Reunion next 
June that Princeton has ever seen. 

Due to the splendid systematic efforts of President Bill Prizer, the 
Sixth Reunion was the most enjoyable and successful get-together 
party we have ever held, and six years finds the Class united stronger 
than ever before. May every man in the Class be present at our 
Seventh next June !

AFTERMATH 

The Secretary apologizes for the late appearance of this Record 
due to his sudden change in business last spring. On behalf of the 
Class he wishes to thank every member for his help in filling out 
those lengthy statistic blanks which must have tried the patience of 
a saint. When the General Biographical Catalogue appears next 
year, he hopes the completeness of the '09 data will speak for itself. 

In this volume he has tried to eliminate the usual dryness of a 
Class Record by the publishing of snap-shots rather than the conven- 
tional-six-for-ten-dollar portraits. While he regrets they were re- 
duced to such a small size for economical reasons, he hopes they will 
prove interesting enough for everybody so they will continue this 
custom by sending photos voluntarily from time to time. 

The Secretary is very grateful to Roy Dickinson, Bill Zinsser, 
Hatch Treadwell, Frank Cunningham and Bill Prizer for all their 
generous help in rounding this book into shape. 

Suggestions at any time relating to Alemorial Fund, Reunions, 
Dinners, Year Books, or any Class Activity will be most welcome. 
Every Ought Niner is requested to write a letter about himself at 
least once a year in order to keep the Class posted in the Alumni 
Weekly. Don't crowd ! Line forms on the right ! 

In closing 'his heartiest well wishes go to every man in the Class 
together with grateful thanks for his co-operation all these first five 
years. 

Always together for Ought Nine and Princeton, 

As ever, 

"Josh" Brush.
